Hundreds of protesters gathered in Nanyuki, Central Kenya, to voice their opposition to a planned Ebola quarantine centre intended for Americans exposed to the virus. The demonstration occurred after Kenya's High Court issued a temporary suspension of the government's plan, which was criticized for potentially jeopardizing the already fragile health system in the country. Protesters expressed fears that hosting foreign Ebola patients could heighten health risks for local residents. The proposed 50-bed facility was to be located at an air force base in Laikipia county and was expected to serve asymptomatic Americans. Despite the court ruling, military aircraft were observed in the area, suggesting US preparations for the centre were ongoing. Health Minister Aden Duale emphasized that the facility aims to bolster emergency response capabilities and is not solely for US citizens. Protest organizer Patrick Wahome highlighted the community's concerns, stating that the proximity of military personnel and their families raised the risk of infection for local residents.
