The government has suffered a major blow in the Sh322 billion health deal with the United States of America.
On Friday, the High Court directed the Ministry of Health and the Attorney General not to share any data with the President Donald Trump-led government. His colleague, Justice Chacha Mwita, also ordered that the remaining commitments be put on ice until the case filed by Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah is heard and determined.
High Court Judge Bahati Mwamuye said that the government should not implement the entire agreement, as Omtatah had raised questions on whether it was a binding commitment and the use of Kenyan taxpayers' money beyond oversight mechanisms.
