The Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) Secretary-General and Nyandarua Senator John Methu has joined a growing chorus of leaders opposing the planned construction of an Ebola Quarantine and Monitoring Centre in Laikipia County. Addressing the media alongside DCP-allied Members of Parliament at the party's Nairobi headquarters, Methu took issue with President William Ruto's remarks confirming that he had approved the establishment of the facility. The senator questioned the government's decision to proceed with the project despite a standing court order halting its construction, arguing that the move undermines the rule of law and ignores concerns raised by members of the public.
