Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has defended the construction of the US-funded Ebola facility at Laikipia Air Base, saying it is a precautionary measure and not evidence of an outbreak.
Speaking on Friday, June 12, during abriefing on Ebola preparedness, Duale asserted Kenya has not recorded any case of the Bundibugyo virus strain and urged the public not to confuse preparedness with panic.
"They are precautionary measures designed to ensure that if a suspected or confirmed case arises, our health system can respond swiftly and effectively while protecting the public," he said.
