The Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) Othaya Annex has been renamed Mwai Kibaki Hospital in honor of the late former president, who died last week.
The hospital’s director Peter Munene said the decision to name the facility after Kenya’s third president was made following consultations between Kibaki’s family and government officials.
“We didn’t just wake up and rename this facility. We alive to the fact that Kibaki never wanted anything named after him, but his family has given the go-ahead,” Munene stated.
The construction of the Level VI hospital began during Kibaki’s regime and was completed by President Kenyatta’s administration.
The facility has been serving residents of the larger Mount Kenya region seeking specialized treatment.
Following Kibaki’s death on Friday, politicians led by Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang’ula and his nominated counterpart Beth Mugo called on the government to name a number of key infrastructure projects after the former president.
“There are many places that should be named after him. I think we should present a motion before the house to do so,” Wetang’ula told the Senate on Monday.
It is well documented that Kibaki was against the naming of a number of key state projects that he commissioned after himself.
Yes Kibaki was a good…
Yes Kibaki was a good ECONOMICal president. But I wish Kenya stopped this Unnecessary litter of Namings; these Clichés.
Names on infrastructure…
Names on infrastructure projects should be minimized to at least one, per leader….it is high time we did away with all these Kenyatta this, and Moi this, etc…that is stupidity of the highest order. Kwani hao ndio wanaweza kuongoza Kenya peke yao.
No wonder the now late Kibaki hated that idea….
I hope the hospital’s…
I hope the hospital’s mortuary will also be renamed general KIGUOYA KIMUICI KIBAKI to honor him for enabling muuaji Raila kill as many AGikuyu as he could in 07/08 PEV.CIC general Kiguoya Kibaki who had executive power was silent as savage Raila slaughtered Kenyans like rats.He and Raila also imported contaminated/poisonous/cancer maize from SA which is still killing thousands to date.
I think you’re Confusing…
I think you’re Confusing Raila with Ruto. Raila had nothing to with what happened in Kiambaa church, Eldoret.
What do you smoke? You must…
What do you smoke? You must be getting fresh Opium poppy from new Taliban government. That one is not diluted.

If I recall Kibaki rejected…
If I recall Kibaki rejected the idea of naming thika highway after him. The man was so humbled he didn’t want to take any credit for himself. In his campaign the man always preaching what we can achieve as opposed to what he has done.
Let corporate or billionaire…
Let corporate or billionaire put money and get named after them for a given period of time. 100m per yr.
