Kenyan President William Ruto has defended the establishment of a U.S.-supported Ebola quarantine facility at a military air base in central Kenya, amidst mounting public protests and a court order temporarily halting the project.
The facility, intended for Americans potentially exposed to Ebola, is a segment of Kenya’s broader national preparedness initiative against the infectious disease, rooted in a longstanding health partnership with Washington. Protests from Nanyuki residents arose from concerns over potential Ebola exposure.
Despite these challenges, Ruto emphasized Kenya’s duty to safeguard against possible Ebola cases, including those involving Kenyans abroad. As a precaution, Kenya has bolstered its border screening measures, with no Ebola cases reported in the nation thus far.
