High Court Judge Patricia Nyaundi said in her orders late yesterday that Kenya was also not allowed to admit anyone exposed to or infected by Ebola under the planned agreement with the United States, until a case challenging the deal was heard and determined. Yesterday, the White House said the US was setting up a facility in Kenya to quarantine US citizens who had been exposed to Ebola, and would not bring them home if they develop symptoms, but instead send them to a third country.
“The secretive, unilateral establishment of an Ebola quarantine facility raises grave constitutional concerns regarding the rights to life, health, fair administrative action, public participation, and parliamentary oversight,” the rights group said.
