A section of MPs from the Mount Kenya region have opposed reported plans to establish an Ebola quarantine and treatment facility in Laikipia County, calling for full transparency from the national government.
In a joint statement, Laikipia East MP Mwangi Kiunjuri, his Laikipia North and West counterparts Sarah Korere, and Wachira Karani, and Laikipia Woman Representative Jane Kagiri said they support coordinated efforts to contain infectious disease outbreaks but raised concerns over the proposal.
They questioned why the government had not fully disclosed details of the plan and why Laikipia had been identified as the proposed site.
