Kenyan President Defends Hosting U.S. Ebola Quarantine Facility Amid Protests

 Ruto approved a 50-bed facility at Laikipia Air Base to quarantine asymptomatic Americans exposed to Ebola from outbreaks in DRC and Uganda, highlighting decades of U.S. health aid to Kenya. 

Locals protested over virus import fears, leading to two deaths in clashes and a High Court suspension until late June.

 While U.S. officials praise it as targeted containment, opposition leaders decry the risks, leaving the project's future in doubt as Ruto stresses cross-border health threats.
