The financial troubles haunting controversial former Kesses MP Dr Swarup Mishra have now reached a breaking point. Six prime Mediheal properties up for Auction in Eldoret have been listed for sale, exposing a deepening debt crisis around the once-dominant healthcare magnate.
Mishra, already fighting claims of illegal human organ trafficking at his Mediheal facilities, now battles to retain control of land, hospitals, and farms valued in the hundreds of millions. The unfolding situation paints a grim picture of financial decline, legal battles, and a reputation on the brink of collapse.
Mediheal properties up for Auction reveal a collapsing empire
The decision to place Mediheal properties up for Auction on December 10, 2025, marks the sharpest turn yet in Mishra’s downward spiral. Auctioneers have listed six key assets tied to Mediheal Hospital and Fertility Centre Ltd. These properties represent the core of Mishra’s business empire. Their sale signals that lenders have lost patience and want their money back.
Mishra has been fighting this crisis for more than a year. His financial pain worsened when lenders attempted to seize properties he allegedly used as collateral for multimillion-shilling loans. High Court Judge Reuben Nyakundi briefly froze the earlier auction attempt, noting the bank failed to prove that the loans were secured by the targeted properties. Despite that short-lived relief, the hammer is now ready to fall again.
The new auction notice cuts deeper. It not only targets commercial hospital buildings but also Mishra’s private residences and farmland. The scale of the sale mirrors a financial meltdown that the politician can no longer hide.
Key Mediheal properties up for Auction in Eldoret
Auctioneers have listed high-value assets spread across Eldoret Municipality and Uasin Gishu County. Each property carries significant commercial or residential importance.
One of the most valuable assets is a 0.5336-hectare parcel under Mediheal Hospital and Fertility Centre Ltd. It holds commercial buildings currently operating as part of the hospital. Another 0.2421-hectare parcel hosts a five-storey hospital block, plus a double-storey pharmacy and laboratory wing. These buildings have served thousands of patients and stand at the heart of the Mediheal brand.
A 0.6500-hectare residential maisonette registered under Swarup Ranjan Mishra and his wife Pallavi is also set for auction. Beyond Eldoret town, a 1.249-hectare Kipkorgot property along the Kaptagat–Eldoret road and a 3.91-hectare farm in Mogobich will be sold to the highest bidder. Additional parcels in Pioneer and Ngeria are included in the auction list, underscoring how much Mishra stands to lose in one blow.
Insiders link much of Mediheal’s financial strain to unpaid bills. The National Assembly Committee on Health reported that the defunct NHIF still owes Mediheal Sh51 million, worsening its cash flow crisis. That unpaid debt forms part of a longer pattern of financial mismanagement and political fallouts.
Organ Trafficking Scandal Deepens Mishra’s Troubles
These allegations have damaged the public image of the Mediheal Group and pushed the former MP into an even smaller corner. Mishra insists he is innocent and has welcomed investigations. But the accusations continue to overshadow his business operations and political legacy.
The scandal also thrusts Kenya’s weak organ-transplant regulations into the spotlight. Selling organs is illegal, yet enforcement remains difficult. Hospitals routinely warn desperate Kenyans not to offer their kidneys for cash. Reports from Kenyatta National Hospital confirm an increase in people trying to sell organs despite strict prohibitions.
Global institutions including the United Nations and the World Health Organization have warned that illegal organ markets prey on vulnerable communities. Kenya’s Ministry of Health set up the National Blood Transfusion Services and Human Organs Transplantation Unit in 2019 to strengthen organ-donation frameworks.
According to its director, Dr Nduku Kilonzo, groundwork for a safer and more ethical transplant system is ongoing. Yet even with these efforts, the Mediheal scandal continues to cast a long shadow.
Mishra’s defense and the growing financial storm
Dr. Mishra has consistently denied involvement in any illegal activities. He states he is ready to face the law and accept consequences if found guilty. He maintains that Mediheal has conducted 476 kidney transplants since 2018, with a mortality rate below 10 percent. He also defends the hospital’s pricing structure, saying the charges remain lower than many international centers.
But even strong statements cannot shield him from the financial chaos tightening around him. The upcoming sale of Mediheal properties up for auction threatens to dismantle everything he built. If the auction goes forward, Mishra risks losing commercial buildings, farmland, residential homes, and core medical facilities.
