10.12.2025 ⇢ The Day Kenya's US Health Deal Faced Court Challenge
⌨Kenyan media on December 10 prominently featured challenges to the recently signed Kenya-US health deal. Morning reports indicated President Ruto's efforts to reassure Kenyans that no exploitation would occur under the pact, alongside his directive for ministers to lead his 2027 campaigns. However, by the early afternoon, a federation and later activist Omtatah filed court petitions to halt the deal, citing unconstitutionality and lack of public participation.
Concurrently, reports emerged detailing 97 extrajudicial killings and 72 torture cases in Kenya for 2025, raising human rights concerns. The return of the first contingent of police from the Haiti peacekeeping operation was also noted, with discussions around their pending allowances.
