Kenya's High Court has temporarily suspended the establishment of a United States-backed Ebola quarantine and treatment facility in Laikipia county at the Laikipia Air Base, following a legal challenge over public health and constitutional concerns.
In a court order released on Friday, Justice Patricia Nyaundi issued conservatory orders barring the government from facilitating, approving, or operationalizing any Ebola exposure, quarantine, isolation, or treatment center linked to the United States or any foreign agency until the case is heard and determined.
"Upon reading the Notice of Motion dated May 28, 2026, a conservatory order is hereby issued restraining the respondents from establishing, operationalizing, facilitating, approving establishment of any Ebola exposure, quarantine, isolation, or treatment facility in Kenya," the court said.
