The High Court has allowed an application supported by the National Assembly for the joinder of the Senate as an interested party to a petition challenging a recently enacted health law.

Justice Alfred Mabeya, Justice Robert Limo and Justice Freda Mugambi allowed the application during a mention of the case in which the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU) and three other petitioners are challenging the legality of the recently enacted Social Health Insurance Act, 2023.
