SHIF declared unconstitutional by the High Court

The High Court has declared as unconstitutional the Social Health Insurance Fund.

While delivering their judgement, Justices Alfred Mabeya, Robert Limo and Friday Mugambi gave Parliament 120 days to make amends to the said Act.

The three-judge bench said parliament should undertake adequate public participation in accordance with the constitution before enacting the same act and amending the unconstitutional provisions.

“This should be done within 120 days. If they fail to, the Act shall remain suspended,” they said.
