A Kenyan court has extended an order protecting Nairobi Hospital directors from arrest by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). The court’s decision came despite protests from the Attorney-General, who argued the order interfered with investigative agencies.

• The extended order is in place until April 23.
• Six board members, led by chairman Dr. Barcley Onyambu, accused state agencies of abuse of authority and using the criminal justice system as an instrument of intimidation.
• The board claims a pattern of "arrest first and investigate later," alongside asset recovery and tax enforcement measures, constitutes a coordinated and oppressive use of state machinery.
