Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has spoken out after the High Court halted the implementation of sections of the Kenya-US Health Cooperation Framework, specifically those dealing with health data transfer. He emphasized that health data belongs to individuals, not the state, and raised concerns about potential human experimentation as well as the agreement's constitutionality.

• The Washington, DC agreement was signed on Thursday, December 4, 2025, by Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, with President William Ruto present.
• Justice Bahati Mwamuye issued conservatory orders suspending sections allowing the transfer of medical, epidemiological, or other sensitive personal health data.
• The petition, filed by Omtatah and the Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK), argued the framework violates constitutional data privacy and sovereignty.
• The agreement commits to incremental funding of Ksh10 billion to Ksh50 billion over 5 years and the recruitment of thousands of employees.
• The case will be mentioned on February 12, 2025, before Justice Lawrence Mugambi for directions on an expedited hearing.
