The High Court of Kenya has temporarily halted the implementation of a health cooperation framework between Kenya and the United States. This decision was made pending a full hearing of a petition challenging the deal's legality.

• The agreement, signed on December 4, 2025, was stopped by Justice Chacha Mwita of the Milimani High Court.
• The petition was filed by Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah, who claims the framework lacked public participation and parliamentary approval.
• Concerns include data protection, particularly the transfer and sharing of sensitive personal health data without individual consent.
