Kenyan president defends US Ebola quarantine center amid protests
Kenyan President William Ruto defended the U.S.-established Ebola quarantine facility at Laikipia Air Base amid protests and a court order suspending its construction. The U.S. plans to invest $13 million in the partnership, but opposition groups argue Kenya's health system cannot handle foreign patients. A court extended a suspension on the facility, citing concerns over Kenya's capacity.
