Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has vowed to ignore public opposition and a court order on the establishment of a quarantine facility for Americans exposed the Ebola virus.

Health CS Aden Duale has defended the proposed US-backed Ebola isolation facility in Laikipia, saying it will serve both Kenyans and Americans.

Health Minister Aden Duale has said the quarantine centre was for ‘everyone’ and not exclusively for US nationals.

A plan for a quarantine site in Kenya for Americans exposed to Ebola is on hold for at least another three weeks as a court ruled to pause it.

Court demands the Kenyan government disclose details about its negotiations and agreements with the United States, including hazard assessments related to the facility.

US says working with Kenyan government to address objections to Ebola quarantine center amid court order halting construction, but will continue supporting preparedness efforts.

According to the CS, the agreement, approved by Cabinet, was extended to run until 2029.

Appearing in Parliament, he also defended the choice of Laikipia Air Base.
