Leaders allied to the Opposition have questioned President William Ruto's decision to approve a US-backed Ebola treatment facility at Laikipia Air Base.
In a statement on Tuesday, June 2, Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) Secretary-General-designate John Methu said Kenyans, including health professionals, have raised concerns about the project, but the government had yet to respond.
The statement came just hours after Ruto defended the establishment of the facility, saying he approved the deal because it would benefit both Kenya and the United States.
