Court of appeal allows Kenya-US health deal to proceed

Tonight, we begin from the corridors of justice. The Court of Appeal has lifted orders blocking the implementation of the KSh 208 billion health cooperation framework between Kenya and the United States, allowing the programme to proceed pending the hearing and determination of the intended appeal. The court warned that the suspension could disrupt access to critical treatment for more than 1.4 million Kenyans. The deal was signed in December 2025, with President William Ruto witnessing the signing during his visit to the United States. Willy Lusige reports.
