The High Court in Nairobi has ordered the Kenya Kwanza government to make public the Sh1.7 billion deal with the US for the Ebola quarantine facility within seven days.

At the same time, Justice Patricia Nyaundi extended orders to now block the President William Ruto-led administration from either accepting or entertaining Americans or foreigners who are infected by the deadly virus into the country until the cases filed by the Katiba Institute, the Law Society of Kenya, and Fred Isaboke are heard and determined.

She said that the Attorney General Dorcas Oduor or her representatives had failed to appear in the Katiba case or respond despite being served with the court papers.
