The High Court of Kenya has issued a conservatory order, suspending the data transfer component of the Ksh200 billion health cooperation agreement between Kenya and the United States. This ruling temporarily halts the sharing of sensitive health and personal data until a legal review is completed.

• The order was issued by Justice Bahati Mwamuye following a legal challenge by the Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK).
• The contentious agreement, signed in Washington on December 4 by Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, was alleged to violate the Constitution.
• COFEK argued that transferring citizens' medical data abroad could lead to "permanent and irreversible" harm due to potential lack of regulatory oversight.
