The High Court in Nairobi has issued conservatory orders suspending the planned establishment of a United States-linked Ebola quarantine centre in Laikipia County.

The orders follow an urgent petition filed by the Katiba Institute and the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) before the Milimani Law Courts, seeking to halt the implementation of the facility pending the determination of the case.

Justice Patricia Nyaundi barred the government from facilitating, approving or permitting the setting up of any Ebola exposure, quarantine, isolation or treatment centre by the U.S. government or any foreign agency.

“Upon reading the Notice of Motion dated May 28, 2026, a conservatory order is hereby issued restraining the respondents from establishing, operationalising, facilitating, approving establishment of any Ebola exposure, quarantine, isolation or treatment facility in Kenya,” the court directed.
