A battle over the multi-billion shilling insurance deal for police and prison officers has landed in court.

Two petitioners are challenging the award of Sh8 billion medical cover contract to a consortium of CIC General Insurance, Britam and Old Mutual.

Chrispine Onyango and Henry Shitanda, in their case filed before High Court judge Hedwig Ong'undi, argue that the National Service Police Commission and Kenya Prisons Services breached the law by abandoning the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) for the private entities.
