The United States has defended the planned Sh1.7 billion bio-isolation facility in Laikipia, saying it poses no risk to surrounding communities.
The US Embassy in Kenya said Wednesday, June 2, that it is working with the Kenyan government to address the objections directed towards the establishment of the facility, amid a court order halting construction.
“As the health security situation evolves, we are working in tandem with Kenya and international partners to enhance protocols for the detection and spread of this deadly disease. The bio-isolation facility in Laikipia does not pose any risk to nearby communities,” the embassy noted.
