The Court of Appeal has established new regulations for employers dismissing employees on sick leave, upholding a Ksh4.7 million award to a worker terminated while recovering from illness.

• The court upheld an award of Ksh4,707,945.38 to the employee.
• The ruling was made by a three-judge bench including Justices Ahmed Issack, Linnet Mumo Ndolo, and Weldon Kipyegon Korir.
• Employers must now issue a show-cause letter and provide a reasonable opportunity for employees to respond before dismissal, as authorised sick leave does not constitute desertion of duty.

The High Court has ordered the immediate release of Mukurwe-ini Member of Parliament John Kaguchia from police custody.

• Ksh100,000 cash bail required for release.
• Involved parties include MP John Kaguchia, the Inspector General of Police, and the Director of Public Prosecutions.
• Kaguchia was arrested following controversial remarks made over the weekend regarding the Kenya Kwanza government.

The Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK) is challenging the government's new Mandatory Inbound Travel Health Insurance Programme in court, arguing its implementation is unconstitutional and unfair.

• The program requires foreigners to have a minimum policy cover of U.S. $50,000 (approx. Ksh6.5 million).
• COFEK, along with Vantage Point Ventures, alleges the process favoured specific insurers and lacked transparency.
• The Milimani High Court has set September 29, 2026, for the case to be mentioned.
