Activist Okiya Omtatah has challenged a Sh4.4 billion medical insurance cover for MPs arguing it would be wasteful given that the legislators will only benefit for seven months before their term expires.

In a petition filed under certificate of urgency, Mr Omtatah wants court to quash the tender by Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) for provision of medical insurance cover to lawmakers for a period of two years, with effect from January 2022.
