Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has dismissed the government’s assurance that Kenyans’ health data remains secure under the Sh208 billion Kenya-US health cooperation deal.

In an interview with KTN at his Karen residence in Nairobi, Gachagua questioned the credibility of the agreement, arguing that it lacked public participation and had not been subjected to parliamentary approval.
