An 80-year-old doctor collapsing inside a DCI van right before arraignment just amplified the firestorm around Nairobi Hospital's leadership crisis.

Medical emergency at Milimani courts

• Dr. Job Obwaka fell ill while stuck in a DCI vehicle.
• Paramedics rushed in, and an ambulance hauled him away.

Falsified membership register allegations

• Conflicts of interest and shady financial dealings dominate.

Millions were allegedly pocketed from an insurer

• Samson Mbuthia Kinyanjui reportedly received nearly Ksh 4 million.
• Meritorious Insurance Agency was the payment source for both.

Financial reporting failures
