Kenya halts US-backed Ebola quarantine site after court contempt ruling
Kenya’s Health Minister Aden Duale ordered an immediate stop to construction of the US-funded Ebola quarantine facility in Nanyuki after being found in contempt of court for ignoring a ruling; he apologized in court and said the government would suspend collaboration with the US as the project is reviewed, despite prior assurances that the work complied with the court order amid protests and legal challenges over public-health risks.
