Kenyan President William Ruto said allowing the US to build an Ebola quarantine facility in Kenya was the “right thing”.
At least two people were killed this week in protests against the facility, which is being built on a US air force base for Americans exposed to the virus.
My husband texted me saying he was feeling very nauseous so I told him to take a pregnancy test 🤣 for a second I thought maybe I was bein insensitive but then he texted back saying “you told me you were wearing a condom ” and I’ve been laughing about it all day 😭

Njeri Kenyans know all of this. What we need is concrete proof that the speaker refused to table it. Mkisema ⅓ need to sign on it try & tell only these 20 out of 117 signed on it tukae tukijua all the rest are traitors. Otherwise your layman terms will keep looking like excuses
Allahumma inni as’aluka that starting this month I have unlimited halal rizq in the form of wealth and good health, and a righteous spouse, without being afflicted by any misfortune.
Why is there CCTV INSIDE the dorm? Where does the footage go? Who watches it? Isn’t this a severe child safeguarding breach? Isn’t the physical privacy + dignity of minors violated by installing those there?
Great the cameras caught it, but the adults need to explain. Slooowly.
I am sure many of you have seen this post by now ..... And the lies within..... Here are the lies... or rather let me poke the holes....
1. Ati "We have vaccines: Ervebo given to all staff... We have practice... We have drugs."
The Hole: The current 2026 outbreak in the DRC is the Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus. Ervebo ONLY works against the Zaire strain. There is currently no approved vaccine and no approved targeted treatment for the Bundibugyo strain. Telling the Kenyan public that the staff are protected by Ervebo is scientifically a lie! They are essentially unvaccinated against the strain currently circulating. Also, the U.S. plan relies on off-label use of Remdesivir and monoclonal antibodies, which are not explicitly proven for Bundibugyo.
2. Ati the Laikipia High-Level Isolation Unit (HLIU) was built to BSL-4 (Biosafety Level 4) standards. Ati whuot?
🤬 A BSL-4 facility is an incredibly complex, high-containment laboratory ecosystem requiring positive pressure space suits (specialised PPE), dedicated air supply lines, complex chemical shower decontamination chambers, and specialized engineering. The Laikipia is a military field hospital unit upgraded for isolation and is not a certified BSL-4 facility. True BSL-4 labs are meant for in-vitro research on pathogens, not for a 50 bed patient care field hospital. Calling it BSL-4 is an intentional exaggeration to make a makeshift field hospital sound like an impenetrable fortress.
3. "The virus cannot leave the building" or "negative pressure rooms, HEPA air... everything sterilized at 1200°C."
🤬The virus does not escape through the air vents .... it escapes via human error and waste management failures. And I am sure the Americans shall not be bringing a trained clean up crew. Ebola patients produce massive amounts of highly infectious fluid (vomit and diarrhea) daily. Who is cleaning the linens? Who is carrying the biohazard bags to that 1200°C incinerator? What happens if the base wastewater plant experiences a power fluctuation or mechanical failure? If a Kenyan worker punctures their glove with a needle, the negative pressure room means absolutely nothing.
4. "Staff live on base for 21 days" imp(lying) that that staff are monitored 24/7 and live on base for 21 days after their last patient contact, meaning they can't spread it to Nanyuki or surrounding towns.
🤬Ebola has an incubation period of up to 21 days. If a staff member is exposed on day 20 of their rotation, and are not completely isolated, the 21-day rule only works if the person remains completely isolated from the final second of exposure, which is incredibly difficult to track in a busy military environment.
5. ""international rules" and "helping each other."
🤬It completely ignores the political geography of the risk. The United States has state-of-the-art, taxpayer-funded biocontainment units (like at Emory University and Nebraska Medical Center) specifically built to handle Ebola-infected Americans. The U.S. has explicitly banned these individuals from entering the U.S. because they want zero risk on American soil. If a superpower with the most advanced healthcare infrastructure on earth decides it is too dangerous to fly these citizens home, why is it suddenly safe enough to dump that risk onto an airbase in Kenya?
6. The person even mentioned the WHO .... The WHO and USA in the same sentence?
🤬Since the United States officially completed its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) in Januarry of this year, from a legal, diplomatic, and public health standpoint, Kenya is under absolutely zero international obligation to agree to this arrangement.
The U.S. wanted the perks of isolation without the domestic risk, and this person is trying to package it as an "international duty" to mitigate public fury. But under international law, Kenya owes the U.S. nothing here.
