The High Court in Nairobi has suspended a magistrate's court order that allowed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to take away documents from Nairobi Hospital's directors and top management for an investigation.
Justice John Chigiti barred the DCI from accessing or removing any documents from the health facility in a case filed on Tuesday. "Leave shall operate as a stay in line with prayer three," he ruled.
In the case, the hospital management and board have drawn Attorney General Dorcas Oduor into the ongoing disputes.
They have challenged a magistrate's court order that permitted the DCI to take documents relating to the hospital, arguing that the orders obtained for the investigation were unlawful and intended to harass them.
