Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has launched discipinary measures against a member of staff accused of demanding a bribe.
According to reports, the suspect demanded Ksh2,070 from a father who was trying to get his child discharged from the surgical ward.
This followed a public complaint by the parent, whose account of the incident went viral.
This prompted the hospital to issue a statement on Friday, November 14, 2025, who confirmed that the officer in question was part of the team responsible for SHA clearance and may have violated the hospital’s code of conduct.
“The reported conduct is unacceptable and does not represent the values or the standard of care we are committed to providing at KNH,” the hospital stated.
