Kenyan president defends US Ebola quarantine center amid protests
Kenyan President William Ruto defended a U.S.-funded Ebola quarantine facility at Laikipia Air Base amid public protests and a court order suspending its construction. The U.S. plans to quarantine American Ebola patients in Kenya, citing a $13 million partnership, while opponents argue Kenya's health system cannot handle foreign patients. The court extended a suspension of the project, and protests reportedly resulted in two deaths.
