President William Ruto has defended the Kenya–United States Health Cooperation Framework, assuring Kenyans it will not lead to exploitation and emphasizing that Kenyan data protection laws take precedence. He stated that the agreement, thoroughly vetted by the Office of the Attorney General, is anchored on firm legal ground and prioritizes national interests.

• The US will support Kenya's healthcare system with more than $1.6 billion (Sh208 billion) over the next five years, directly flowing to counties.
• The President warned against deliberate misinformation from agencies that previously benefited from acting as intermediaries in US-funded health programs, noting the US Government discontinued funding through third-party organizations.
• The government has gazetted the transfer of more than 46,000 parcels of land and 8,062 housing units to county governments, with an additional 34,000 parcels and over 1,000 housing units pending transfer across 40 counties.

The Consumer Federation of Kenya (COFEK) has filed a lawsuit challenging the Ksh 200 billion Kenya-US health deal, citing concerns over governance, consumer representation, and data privacy.

• The five-year framework, signed on December 4, 2025, aims to strengthen Kenya's health programs with advanced technologies.
• COFEK argues that consumers, as primary beneficiaries and data sources, must be included in the partnership's oversight.
• The federation's legal challenge invokes constitutional provisions like Article 46 on consumer protection and Article 31 on privacy.
