US Ebola center in Kenya runs into legal hurdles

Opposition from advocacy groups, health workers, and legal bodies has delayed the facility's operation, with critics accusing the government of bypassing constitutional procedures. The US has pledged $13.5 million to Kenya's Ebola preparedness amid a regional outbreak in DR Congo and Uganda.
