A legal battle looms on the Sh6 billion comprehensive medical scheme signed between AoN Minet and the Teachers Service Commission, after the giant teachers' union abandoned it.

The over 280,000-member strong Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) ditched the medical cover after a month, citing alleged underhand moves by the Government.
