Court stops Nairobi Hospital AGM as owners and directors tussle it has been reveals The Company Secretary Nairobi Hospital Mr Gilbert Nyamweya has been the Obstacle to defy Court orders

NAIROBI, Kenya — The planned Annual General Meeting (AGM) of The Nairobi Hospital has been thrown into uncertainty after members raised legal objections over the legitimacy of the meeting scheduled for Tuesday, August 25, 2026.

The Kenya Hospital Association (KHA), which operates The Nairobi Hospital, is facing renewed governance pressure following a public notice and legal communication warning members against attending or participating in the proposed AGM, citing alleged violations of existing court orders and procedural irregularities.

The objections centre on High Court orders issued on November 5, 2025, which, according to the legal notice, were upheld during proceedings on November 18, 2025, and later extracted on November 20, 2025.

The notice argues that the court directives remain in force until the determination of a pending Notice of Motion Application dated November 4, 2025, alongside a Preliminary Objection whose ruling is scheduled for November 5, 2026.

According to the legal position advanced by the concerned members, the AGM should not proceed while the court orders remain active unless they are formally varied or lifted by the court.

Members Raise Red Flags Over AGM Process

Members have raised concerns over what they describe as fundamental irregularities in the preparation and convening of the AGM, including questions surrounding the adequacy of notice issued to members, the status of the membership register and the proposed electoral process.

The legal notice has called on the Board of Directors and the Company Secretary to withdraw the AGM notice pending the resolution of the outstanding legal matters.

The controversy places renewed focus on governance at one of Kenya’s leading private healthcare institutions, where leadership accountability, membership rights and institutional decision-making processes have come under scrutiny.

Stakeholders argue that adherence to court directives and transparent governance procedures are critical to protecting the interests of members and maintaining confidence in the hospital’s administration.

Future of AGM Hangs in Balance

The dispute now leaves the fate of the August 25 meeting uncertain, with members awaiting further communication from the Kenya Hospital Association and possible intervention by the court.

The developments come at a time when private healthcare institutions are under increasing public scrutiny over governance standards, financial accountability and effective management of medical facilities.

The Nairobi Hospital has yet to publicly respond to the latest objections, even as members seek clarity on whether the AGM will proceed as planned or be postponed until the legal issues are resolved.

The outcome of the dispute could have significant implications for the leadership structure and governance direction of one of Kenya’s most prominent healthcare providers.
