 Kenyan government halts US Ebola centre as health minister faces contempt case


Kenya has ordered a halt to preparations for a US-run Ebola quarantine facility, the health minister told a court Tuesday, after the minister was held in contempt for ignoring a previous stop-work order.


Kenyans have strongly opposed the plan, and deadly protests have taken place since the facility was announced in May for potential US citizens evacuated from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is grappling with a major Ebola outbreak.


Three people have been killed in unrest near the facility in Laikipia.


It has been constructed at Laikipia Air Base, about 200 kilometres (125 miles) from the capital, Nairobi, with some 50 isolation beds, and was expected to be managed by US medical staff.


Ignoring court orders


Kenya's government ignored a previous order by the high court to stop work on the site.


Rights groups had petitioned the court, saying the facility was being developed secretly and without consultation.


On Monday, the court said health minister Aden Duale was held in contempt for failing to respond to the order and should appear for sentencing.


He appeared in court on Tuesday and apologised, saying: "I have directed the immediate and complete cessation of any intended construction, site preparation, or related activities concerning the Laikipia Air Base facility pending the hearing and determination of the substantive petition or until further orders of this court", AFP reported.


Kenya has never recorded a case of Ebola and many oppose bringing potential carriers of the highly contagious disease into the country.


‘Colonial overtones’


The United States has also pledged $13.5 million to support Kenya's Ebola preparedness efforts, but critics also oppose what they see as colonial overtones in the arrangement.


Ruto has defended the project, telling Reuters in ​an interview last week that Nairobi was ​right ⁠to allow the U.S. to build the isolation centre as part of Kenya's broader preparedness plan.
