The County Government of Nakuru has outlined the reasons why it declined to renew the Certificate of Lease for a 25-acre plot of land in Milimani Estate, where War Memorial Hospital is located. However, the hospital's lease was renewed for 50 years on April 23, 2021, by the National Land Registry office in Nairobi, a decision that Nakuru County disputes.
County Secretary Samuel Mwaura testified yesterday before Chief Magistrate Elizabeth Juma that documents submitted by the hospital's private management contained discrepancies. Mwaura was testifying in a case in which hospital directors Roger Joslyn, Dr. Simon Mwangi, and Malcolm Bell are charged with forgery, fraud, and abuse of office in connection with the lease renewal process. They are facing charges alongside land administrators Peter Nzuki and Stephen Kihenjo, Nyandarua County Assembly Speaker Steve Waiganjo, and businessman Kipkemboi Marindich.
