Opposition leaders slam Duale over Laikipia quarantine centre plan

United opposition leaders have lashed out at Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale over his position that the government will continue with the construction of the quarantine centre in Laikipia despite resistance from MPs and Kenyans. DCP party leader Rigathi Gachagua, PNU leader Peter Munya and Jubilee deputy party leader Fred Matiang’i have termed Duale’s remarks as dictatorial and endangering the lives of Kenyans. Speaking separately in Meru and Nyeri counties, the leaders said they will continue to oppose the construction of the quarantine facility, which they described as an existential threat to residents of Laikipia and neighbouring counties.
