Doctors want Nairobi Hospital board audited, shown the door

Audio By Vocalize

A section of doctors at Nairobi Hospital is calling for the removal of the current board of management and pushing for a forensic audit to expose what they describe as deep-rooted graft and tribalism at the premier medical institution. The doctors have accused the board of engaging in a conflict of interest, alleging that some members are fronting their own companies to trade with the hospital.

One of the dissenting doctors, David Otieno, told The Saturday Standard that the board chair, Chris Bichage, has been using his company, iMed Healthcare Ltd, which deals in medical equipment and supplies, to transact business with the hospital, a clear conflict of interest, according to him.
