High Court Freezes Assets of Kenyatta National Hospital CEO Amid EACC Probe

In a significant legal development, the High Court has issued an order freezing assets totaling Sh48.5 million and six parcels of land belonging to Evanson Kamuri, the CEO of Kenyatta National Hospital. The freeze, which will remain in effect for six months, comes as the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) conducts investigations into Kamuri’s wealth.

• The magistrate court at Milimani further issued a warrant allowing EACC sleuth Paul Mugwe to investigate Kamau’s two accounts domiciled at Housing Finance.
• The court at the same time froze the two accounts which had Sh28 million in total. One account had Sh10 million while the other had Sh8 million.
  
  “Our investigations have established that the said officer has accumulated assets which are not commensurate to his known source of income to a tune of Sh800 million,” said EACC.
