Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has filed a court petition to stop the launch of the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF).
In an application filed under a certificate of urgency, Omtatah, together with activists Eliud Matindi and Magare Gikenyi, also seek to quash the contract between the government and the Safaricom Consortium, citing concerns over the lack of legislation to operationalise the fund.
