Kenya suspends opening and construction of a US‑backed Ebola quarantine center at Laikipia Air Base after the High Court finds Health Minister Aden Duale in contempt and orders a judicial review.The facility, nearly complete with 50 isolation beds and managed by American personnel, was meant to shelter US citizens exposed in the Democratic Republic of Congo rather than fly them back to the US, and the US plans to contribute $13.5M.The Katiba Institute and the Law Society of Kenya led legal challenges, arguing the country lacks capacity and was not consulted; local protests over the site have left three dead and critics accuse heavy‑handed policing.The government defends Ebola preparedness as scientifically necessary, but judges must decide whether construction may resume or the project must be redesigned or abandoned.
