The Kenya Hospital Association (KHA), trading as The Nairobi Hospital, has plunged into confusion following a warning ahead of an Annual General Meeting (AGM), purportedly scheduled for February 6, 2026, coming hot on the heels of a series of Court Orders.
In a public notice by the affected members of KHA and Admitting Staff Association (ASA) in compliance with High Court orders on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, the notice warned members, staff, and the public to ignore the meeting entirely, emphasising that any participation could attract legal consequences, including fines, imprisonment, or liability for costs.
“Members of the Kenya Hospital Association (KHA) trading as The Nairobi Hospital Members of the Admitting Staff Association (ASA), The Nairobi Hospital Staff of The Nairobi Hospital The General Public Other Stakeholders TAKE NOTICE that a Notice purporting to convene an Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Kenya Hospital Association trading as The Nairobi Hospital on 6th February 2026 is unlawful, null, void ab initio, and of no legal effect, and must be disregarded in its entirety,” the issued notice read in part.
High Court Orders and Legal Implications
The notice cites a series of binding High Court orders that remain in force.
Interim conservatory orders issued on 3rd July, 5th November, 20th November, and 16th December 2025 restrain the convening of Board meetings or an AGM by the restrained parties.
Any governance actions or resolutions adopted during the period covered by these orders are illegal, null, and void ab initio. The court reaffirmed that these orders remain binding and enforceable pending further directives.

The November 2025 orders specifically prohibited convening an AGM.
Additionally, the 16th December 2025 orders stayed the implementation and effect of resolutions arising from previous Board meetings, reinforcing that any AGM notice issued during this period is without legal effect.
Authority Restrictions at Nairobi Hospital
Separately, the notice highlights that the Nairobi Hospital Company Secretary and Chief Executive Officer were placed on mandatory leave on 11th August 2025.
Both are barred from performing any duties, including issuing, authenticating, or facilitating AGM notices. This removes any legal capacity for the February 6 AGM to take place legitimately.

The notice further warns that any person attending, promoting, or legitimising the Nairobi Hospital meeting, whether physically, virtually, or by proxy, will be in contempt of court.
Enforcement action will be taken against anyone who acts in defiance of the High Court’s orders, ensuring compliance with the legal restrictions.
Affected members of KHA and the Admitting Staff Association (ASA) emphasised that the February 6 AGM is null and void.
No resolutions, elections, or decisions arising from the meeting can be considered lawful. The public notice reiterates the need for strict adherence to the court’s orders and cautions against any attempts to circumvent them.
