Kenya’s High Court finds Health Minister Aden Duale in contempt for failing to stop construction of a US-backed Ebola quarantine facility, despite existing court orders requiring a halt to the work. Multiple outlets report that the facility is intended to house American personnel who may have been exposed to Ebola during the ongoing outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The dispute centers on the minister’s alleged defiance of stop-work instructions issued by the court. The BBC and other reports describe the facility as a controversial Ebola quarantine centre for US nationals, with construction plans announced earlier, and cite strong opposition within Kenya. Some reports also note that protests have followed the announcement, reflecting public concern about the proposed site and its handling. Bloomberg adds that the court is expected to move toward sentencing the health secretary following the contempt ruling. Overall, the coverage agrees that the court’s decision is based on non-compliance with a judicial order to halt preparations, and that the proposed facility remains tied to managing potential Ebola cases among Americans evacuated from the outbreak area.
