The Nairobi Hospital board is reportedly in fear amid claims of intimidation and an alleged takeover bid, with President William Ruto's name invoked in meetings pushing for board changes.

• Dr. Barcley Onyambu, the board chair, was allegedly instructed to create three board vacancies and fill them with specific names within a week.
• Sources point to pressure from officials associated with the Office of the Head of Public Service, Felix Koskei, potentially leading to majority control of the 14-member board.
• The dispute centers on the hospital's ownership structure, with concerns about a push to convert the non-profit Kenya Hospital Association into a company limited by shares, altering its control despite significant monthly earnings of an estimated Ksh1.5 billion to Ksh1.6 billion.
