SABASABA: Goons Attack Kitengela Hospital, Disrupt Ongoing C-section
On Monday evening, chaos ensued as goons stormed Kitengela Hospital, halting services.
The goons interrupted an ongoing C-section and vandalized the theatre. They started a fire at the hospital gate.
People around were heard questioning what the individuals were up to, “Mnafanya nini?” (What are you all doing?).

The Kenya Obstetrical and Gynaecological Society (KOGS) criticized the appalling and illegal takeover of the hospital by armed goons during the Saba Saba protests.
“Of particular concern is the terrifying disruption of the hospital’s operating theatre while a mother was undergoing a caesarean section, a moment that should be safeguarded by the highest standard of medical protection and dignity,” KOGS president Dr Kireki Omanwa said.
“This violation of a critical healthcare facility, an institution of healing and safety, is both reckless and inhumane,” he added.
Omanwa expressed concern that the lives of both mother and child were at risk, and that hospital workers were traumatised and unable to do their jobs.
“This action constitutes a grave breach of medical ethics, patient rights, and human decency.”
The group also accused the police of creating unreasonable access restrictions for pregnant women, mothers, and children.
Kitengela Subcounty Hospital today. Being attacked. Staff chased and harrassed. Patients beaten. This is utterly unacceptable!

This is owing to the security forces’ unilateral and heavy-handed approach to the Saba Saba protests.
“Roadblocks, arbitrary curfews, tear gas, and violent crackdowns have restricted movement, making it nearly impossible for many women in labor and critically ill children to access timely healthcare,” Omanwa said.
He claimed that these limits violate Article 43(1)(a) of the Kenyan Constitution, which provides everyone the right to the greatest achievable quality of health, including reproductive healthcare.
Tensions remained high in Kitengela and its surroundings after one person was allegedly shot dead.
