High Court Judge Nixon Sifuna has dismissed an application filed to have him withdraw from the Nairobi Hospital management battle.

Prof Sifuna, in his ruling, held that the application—filed by ousted board chairman Dr Barcley Onyambu and a section of the board—lacked any substantive evidence to support claims of judicial bias.
