Kenya’s High Court has suspended the establishment of a quarantine facility at Laikipia Airbase for American citizens exposed to Ebola and other highly infectious diseases, pending the hearing of a legal challenge. The suspension came after petitions were filed by the Law Society of Kenya and a constitutional watchdog, which cited Kenya’s fragile health system as the reason for opposing the plan.

Kenya’s High Court suspended the establishment of a quarantine facility at Laikipia Airbase for American citizens exposed to Ebola and other highly infectious diseases, pending the hearing of a legal case. The Law Society of Kenya and a constitutional watchdog filed the challenge, citing Kenya’s fragile health system as the reason for opposing the facility. Hundreds of residents in Nanyuki protested the proposed establishment of the facility, according to allafrica, and hundreds of youths in Nanyuki protested the plan on Monday, according to scmp. A petition challenging the proposed facility has also been filed, according to bluesky. The court’s suspension halts the arrival of any foreign patients until the case is heard.
