The U.S. plans a facility at Laikipia Air Base to hold asymptomatic Americans exposed while aiding the Ebola crisis in Congo and Uganda, where over 1,200 cases and 240 deaths have occurred since the WHO emergency declaration on May 17. Kenya's government greenlit it for $13.5 million in aid, but doctors and lawyers called it dangerous, fearing it could bring the virus to Kenya. The High Court suspended the plan on May 29, sparking a #ImpeachRuto push on X with calls for MPs to act, though no motion has been filed amid political challenges.
