Kenya: Court of Appeal Clears Kenya-U.S. Health Deal for Implementation Pending Appeal
[Capital FM] Nairobi -- The Court of Appeal has cleared the way for the implementation of Kenya's health cooperation framework with the United States, overturning High Court orders that had blocked the programme over constitutional concerns.
The Court of Appeal in Kenya has cleared the way for the implementation of the health cooperation framework between Kenya and the United States, overturning previous High Court orders that had blocked the programme due to constitutional concerns. The three-judge bench ruled that the public interest in maintaining essential healthcare services outweighed the risks associated with allowing the programme to proceed while the legal dispute remains unresolved.
The decision comes after the government moved to suspend High Court orders pending the appeal, warning that blocking the agreement would threaten healthcare programmes serving approximately 1.4 million Kenyans.
