NAIROBI, Kenya (AFP) — Kenya’s health minister said on Wednesday that the United States (US) funded quarantine centre would proceed, days after deadly protests erupted over the project.
The US-built facility at Kenya’s Laikipia Air Base was due to open last week, according to US officials, to quarantine Americans arriving from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is battling a major Ebola outbreak.
But it has been temporarily blocked by a court order, and triggered protests on Monday that killed two people, according to a rights group.
