Uhai Neema Hospital CEO Roped In Burial Saga

Ruaraka Uhai Neema Hospital chief executive Gabrielle Beacco has been sued alongside his lover Salome Muhia for improperly and maliciously
disposing of Salome’s son’s body in a hurriedly arranged burial in Kigongo village, Gatundu
South, without properly involving the young
man’s father or members of his family.

In court papers seen by Kenya Insights, Gabrielle and Salome masterminded the exclusion of the boy’s fatherfrom all burial rights and used Gabrielle’s privileged position as CEO of the Kasarani-based facility to irregularly collect
the burial permit, thereby assuming legal custody over the body.

George Alvaro, a first year medical student at University of Nairobi is said to have committed suicide on September 21 2021 at Beacco’s residence in Hardrock Estate, Balozi area, off Thika Road.

Ruaraka Uhai Neema Hospital has recently been
in the news following the mysterious death of a Nation Media Group staffer who went to the facility at 5am to seek medical help, only to end up dead right outside the hospital at 7am in suspicious circumstances.

The hospital has also been in the limelight over swindling and staff harassment allegations.

Beacco an Italian national who also doubles as CEO of Johari school has had an on-off love
relationship with Salome since 2011, and in 2015 officially moved in with her and her three children from a failed marriage. Salome and Beacco are even said to have forced the deceased child and his elder brother to adopt an alien surname contrary to established legal processes of name change by adults, resulting in confusion of names on theiridentity cards and Huduma Namba cards, which bear different names from their birth certificates and school documents. This anomaly has greatly distressed the two young men.

The civil suit is presently before Milimani Commercial Court Justice Nyaga under certificate of urgency. The plaintiff-the deceased boy’s father, is seeking to have his son’s body exhumed at the defendant’s cost and subsequently reburied at his home in Western Kenya.

Also listed is as defendants are Salome’s parents; George Kariuki and Margaret Muhia who’re the owners of the parcel of land in Gatundu Soutg on which the body was hurriedly buried on September 28, 2021.
