The High Court has temporarily halted a key component of the Ksh 200 billion health cooperation agreement between Kenya and the United States, specifically suspending the transfer of health and personal data. This decision follows a petition filed by the Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK), which argues the deal violates constitutional rights and data privacy.

• The order was issued by Justice Bahati Mwamuye, with the case set for mention on February 12, 2025.
• The Kenya-US Health Cooperation Framework was signed in Washington on December 4 by Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
• President William Ruto affirmed that Kenya initiated the talks and that Attorney General Dorcas Oduor cleared legal issues regarding data privacy before the agreement was signed.
