Speaking during a public forum, Muturi claimed the Head of State used behind-the-scenes influence to gain control over the management of the prestigious private hospital, one of Kenya’s most well-known medical institutions.
According to the former CS, the alleged move raises questions about political interference in independent institutions.
Muturi argued that leadership changes and internal wrangles that have recently rocked the hospital could be linked to powerful political interests.

He suggested that the government’s quiet involvement in the facility’s affairs might not be as innocent as it appears.
“Institutions should be allowed to operate independently without political pressure,” Muturi said, hinting that the developments at the hospital deserved closer public scrutiny.
The claims come at a time when Nairobi Hospital has faced governance disputes, boardroom battles and leadership changes that have occasionally spilled into the public domain.

The facility, run by the Kenya Hospital Association, has long been regarded as a leading private healthcare provider in the country.
However, Muturi did not provide concrete evidence to support his allegations, leaving many observers questioning the basis of the claims.
Supporters of President Ruto have dismissed the accusations as political rhetoric, insisting that the government has no intention of controlling private institutions.

Some allies of the President argued that Muturi’s remarks were meant to stir political attention rather than address actual governance issues.
The State House has not issued an official response to the allegations.
Political analysts say the remarks add yet another layer to the increasingly tense exchanges among Kenyan leaders as the country slowly inches toward the 2027 political season.

As with many political claims, the truth may lie somewhere between political theatre and genuine concern.
For now, Nairobi residents might be forgiven for wondering whether the latest drama belongs in a hospital boardroom—or on the campaign trail.
