Kenya minister found in contempt of court over US-backed Ebola centre
Kenya's Health Minister Aden Duale has been found guilty of contempt of court over his handling of a US-backed Ebola quarantine facility. The facility, intended for US citizens suspected of contracting Ebola, has sparked protests in the town of Nanyuki, resulting in three deaths. The minister is to be sentenced on Tuesday, amidst ongoing controversy over the project's construction and its potential risks to public health.
- ▪The High Court had halted the construction of the facility until a case brought by a rights group could be heard.
- ▪The health ministry had insisted it had not flouted the court order, but the judge ruled that the government could not avoid compliance by recasting the construction work.
- ▪The US plans to provide $13.5m in aid to fund Kenya's Ebola preparedness efforts, part of a larger $112m commitment for the regional response to the outbreak.
