Kenya's High Court found Health Minister Aden Duale in contempt of court on Monday for allowing construction to continue at a U.S.-backed Ebola quarantine facility at Laikipia Air Base, despite court orders issued in late May and early June to halt work.

The planned 50-bed facility at Laikipia Air Base, near Nanyuki, was intended to quarantine U.S. citizens exposed to Ebola during the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. The U.S. committed $13.5 million toward Kenya's Ebola preparedness as part of the arrangement.

Protests against the facility turned deadly, with at least three people reportedly killed by gunfire during demonstrations near the air base. An autopsy confirmed that 17-year-old Sylvester Ndungu died from a gunshot wound sustained during the unrest.

Kenyan President William Ruto defended the facility, saying it was part of a broader national Ebola preparedness plan encompassing 24 centers and that refusing the U.S. request would have been "inhuman." The Katiba Institute and the Law Society of Kenya filed the court petition challenging the arrangement.
