Kenyan High Court Temporarily Halts Government’s Vaccination Directive Untill a case filed by businessman Enock Aura is determined.

High Court suspends a directive by the Govt requiring Kenyans seeking public services to be fully vaccinated starting Dec 21, until a case filed by businessman Enock Aura is determined.

The High Court sitting in Nairobi has suspended a directive by the government denying unvaccinated Kenyans from accessing basic services from December 21.

Judge Antony Mrima suspended the directive, that was to come into effect next week, pending hearing and determination of the matter, according to the judiciary.

The Health Ministry had said citizens seeking state services, in-person, would need proof of vaccination from Dec. 21. The government also planned to restrict access to places including hospitals, prisons, game parks, malls as well as hotels, bars, restaurants and businesses that attend to 50 people or more in a day.
