Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has opposed plans to establish an Ebola quarantine and treatment facility in Laikipia County.
Gachagua claim the project poses a threat to residents of the Mount Kenya region and alleging it is part of a scheme to harm local communities.
Speaking while receiving DCP aspirants from Meru at his Wamunyoro home, Gachagua said residents of Meru, Laikipia and the wider Mount Kenya region reject the proposed facility, arguing that the risks associated with handling Ebola patients outweigh any potential benefits.
