Ruto Sarcastic Defense of US Ebola Facility in Laikipia Sparks Outrage: "We Must Prepare"

Description

President William Ruto defends the controversial US-backed 50-bed Ebola quarantine facility in Laikipia Air Base, dismissing local protests and health concerns as politicised while insisting Kenya must prepare for outbreaks. He reveals personal approval after Donald Trump’s request, cites thousands of Kenyans in DRC, and highlights the Ksh200 billion US health deal. But Laikipia residents demonstrated on Madaraka Day, the High Court issued an injunction, and critics question risks to communities and tourism. Full breakdown of the unfolding crisis.
