The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has sued the government, challenging the Sh209 billion between Kenya and the United States.

LSK, in its case, before the High Court, argues that the health co-operation framework and a data-sharing agreement seek to bypass the Constitution, as the US will, for seven years, have unfettered access to Kenya’s health data, store and use it without clear remedy to data subjects.
