Kigame Condemns Proposed Ebola Facility, Calls for National Resistance

 Presidential aspirant Dr. Reuben Kigame has strongly criticized the Kenya Kwanza administration over reports of a proposed Ebola quarantine and treatment facility in Kenya intended to support the management of Americans potentially affected by Ebola outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

In a strongly worded statement, Kigame described the reported plan as a threat to Kenya's sovereignty and accused the government of placing foreign interests above the welfare and security of Kenyan citizens.

According to Kigame, the decision reflects what he termed a "colonial mentality" that treats African countries as convenient locations for projects that wealthier nations would be unwilling to host on their own soil. He questioned why such a facility would be established in Kenya if its primary purpose is to serve American citizens.

"If the center is intended to treat Americans, why not establish it in the United States, where the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) possesses world-class expertise and resources?" Kigame asked. "Alternatively, such a facility could be located closer to the outbreak regions in DRC or Uganda."

Kigame further expressed concern over reports that the facility could be situated near military installations in Nanyuki, arguing that such a move could expose members of the Kenya Defence Forces and surrounding communities to unnecessary risk.

The presidential aspirant welcomed a recent High Court ruling that reportedly issued conservatory orders halting the project pending further legal proceedings. He accused the government of disregarding public concerns, civil society organizations, and judicial institutions.

"The president appears unwilling to listen to citizens, civil society, the courts, or other voices of reason," Kigame said. "This raises serious questions about accountability and respect for constitutional processes."

Kigame also challenged several national institutions to publicly address the matter, including Parliament, security agencies, independent oversight bodies, religious leaders, and county governments. He questioned why these institutions had remained largely silent amid growing public debate.

In his statement, Kigame warned that if constitutional institutions fail to act, citizens may be compelled to pursue lawful collective action to defend what he described as Kenya's national interests and sovereignty.

The government has not publicly responded to Kigame's remarks. Officials have previously maintained that any public health initiatives undertaken in Kenya would comply with national laws, international health standards, and measures designed to protect public safety.

The debate has added to broader national discussions about public health preparedness, international cooperation, judicial oversight, and the balance between foreign partnerships and national sovereignty.

Kigame concluded his statement with an appeal for vigilance and national unity, urging Kenyans to remain engaged in matters that affect the country's future.
