Doctors are now demanding public participation in the planned establishment of a quarantine facility for American citizens infected with or suspected of contracting Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

In a press briefing on Saturday, the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) insisted that the government cannot proceed with such an arrangement without public participation and full disclosure of the contents of the agreement.

They warned that secrecy surrounding the plan has fuelled public anxiety and mistrust among Kenyans and healthcare workers across the country.
