The Senate has summoned all parties involved in the ownership fight of War Memorial Hospital to shed more light on the issue.
The Health committee wants all parties, including Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika, to furnish it with ownership documents as the dispute about the facility entered the third month.
The move comes as the wrangle between the county and the hospital management continued, with the latter accused of ignoring six court orders.
Last week, Chief Justice Martha Koome hit out at county top officers for continued disobedience of court orders. This was after it emerged that judges handling the case had been threatened.
Nakuru Senator Tabitha Karanja said the committee was keen to get information from all parties over the hospital.
She filed a petition in the Senate after the county took over the facility that has for years treated dialysis patients.
“All parties involved in this saga, including the governor, have been summoned by the Senate so the truth can be known,” Karanja said on Sunday.
The senator, who has been vocal over the hospital issue, said more than 300 workers had lost their jobs due to the wrangles.
She termed the hospital critical, saying she will continue fighting for its opening to ease the suffering of patients.
Karanja warned that failure to obey court orders spelt doom for the country adding that this has set a bad precedent and eroded investors confidence.
“As Nakuru senator, I'm afraid that my people’s frustrations have reached fever pitch and I can feel their frustration,” Karanja said.
“If nothing is done to bring back our county to the rule, I'm afraid our people have been left with no options than to exercise the power given to them by article 1 of the Constitution.”
Last week, a group of men raided the hospital’s mortuary and stole a body that had been held in the facility due to a debt of over Sh900,000.
