Kenya's Health Cabinet Secretary
Aden Duale shared during a Nairobi court hearing that ministry advisors cited
constitutional public health protocols to block Ruto's May 26 visit, so he
joined virtually from State House while his advance team quarantined upon
return.
The decision highlights Kenya's
caution as the DRC outbreak—now over 1,000 cases and 254 deaths from the
Bundibugyo strain—spreads in eastern provinces, declared a global emergency by
WHO in May.
