Kenya halts controversial U.S.-backed ebola site, minister says

Kenya's government has put a stop to the construction of a US-funded Ebola quarantine facility, a move that follows significant public opposition. The health minister faced a court hearing after being held in contempt for initially ignoring a prior order to halt the project. This decision underscores the government's responsiveness to local concerns about the potential risks and implications of the facility. The controversy highlights broader debates about foreign-funded health projects and their acceptance in local communities.
