The announcement comes amid reported boardroom wars which have seen members of the Kenya Hospital Association KHA call for an extraordinary general meeting.

In a petition addressed to the KHA board, the members of the requisition group who cited a loss of confidence the board directors’ leadership listed 13 directors, including Chairman Dr. Chris Bichage and Vice Chairman Philemon Mwaisaka.

Cracks within the Board

The owners alleged that the Nairobi Hospital board members have breached their legal and fiduciary duties towards the company and its interests.

“The cited failures of the board include but are not limited to: collectively passing resolutions to accept and issue tenders contrary to the hospital’s procurement manual, to be funded through overseas borrowings amounting to astronomical sums of approximately Sh2 billion, using the company’s assets as collateral without informing or obtaining approval from the members, without considering alternative financing, thereby jeopardizing the company’s assets and indeed the existence of the company if the company is unable to repay the proposed astronomical loans,” reads the petition drafted by the KHA requisition committee.

Members have criticized both the board’s chairman Dr. Bichage and his vice for failures in leadership and management of the company.

Some of the cited failures includes involvement in conducting and chairing meetings of the Board of Directors to make resolutions that went against the company’s Articles of Association, human resources manual and procurement manual.
