Kenyan activists say an American-backed Ebola quarantine centre is operating in Kenya even though a court order issued last month halted its setup. Multiple reports say the dispute began after allegations emerged that Americans were being quarantined in the country. Activists contend that authorities are violating the court order by continuing to establish and run the quarantine facility.
According to the accounts, the activists raised concerns publicly and characterized the continued operation as disregard for the judiciary’s directive. The reports do not provide details that allow confirmation of the full scope of the centre’s activities, staffing, or the number of people affected. They also do not include responses from Kenyan officials or the parties involved in the American-backed effort.
Overall, the articles describe an ongoing legal and political controversy: a court order stopping the facility’s creation versus claims by activists that the quarantine centre is nevertheless up and working. The situation hinges on whether the centre’s operation is consistent with the court order and what parties involved choose to disclose or contest.
