US govt reacts after court blocks proposed Ebola quarantine facility in Nanyuki

The United States government has reacted after the High Court in Nairobi temporarily blocked plans to establish a controversial Ebola quarantine and isolation facility in Nanyuki, Laikipia County.

In a statement issued by the US State Department through the Office of the Under Secretary for Foreign Assistance, Humanitarian Affairs, and Religious Freedom, in the early hours of Saturday, May 30, 2026, Washington acknowledged the ongoing court case in Kenya and expressed optimism that the matter would be resolved through engagement with Kenyan authorities.

“We are aware of the court action filed in Kenya against the Ebola isolation facility. We are in touch with Kenyan authorities and are optimistic we can resolve objections,” the statement read.

The remarks come days after the High Court issued conservatory orders stopping the Kenyan government from allowing entry into the country of persons infected with the Ebola virus for purposes of isolation or quarantine.
