'I gave the okay' – Ruto on US Ebola centre plan- BBC Africa

Kenya’s President William Ruto has defended an agreement with the United States to establish an Ebola quarantine facility in the country, describing it as “mutually beneficial”. The proposed 50-bed isolation centre would be staffed by US medics and used to treat American citizens affected by the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. However, Kenya’s High Court has temporarily halted the project after a rights group argued that it posed “grave and imminent risks” to public health. The court has also ordered the government to disclose all documents related to the agreement within seven days.
