Social Health Insurance Act ruling
The Court of Appeal is today expected to deliver its verdict on whether it will suspend an order that stopped the implementation of the Social Health Insurance Act 2023.
The High Court in November last year issued a conservatory order stopping implementation of the Act and fixed the case for hearing on February 7 this year.
The order was issued ex parte meaning parties sued in the matter were not allowed to be heard.
During last week's hearing, the government through Senior Counsel Fred Ngatia persuaded the court to lift the blanket order as it has hurt patients seeking treatment.
