St Mary's Hospital in Lang’ata experienced chaos on Friday, December 19, when alleged goons stormed the facility, disrupting services and seizing control. The group, reportedly accompanying Dr William Charles Fryder who claims ownership as the founder, welded doors, broke into employee quarters, and shut down administration.

• Over 800 outpatients and 900 deliveries per month are served by the crucial hospital.
• The current management, represented by advocate Wanja Wambugu, stated no court orders were issued for the takeover.
• The ownership dispute intensified after a new company was registered in 2010, excluding Fryder’s name from the original 2000 license under St Mary's Mission Hospital, Nairobi Limited.
