Anti-Ebola Protesters in Nanyuki Announce Another Strike Over Quarantine Facility Plans - Kenyans.co.ke

Seventeen of the 31 protesters arrested during Monday's anti-Ebola facility demonstrations in Nanyuki were released on a cash bail of KSh10,000 each, charged with unlawfully obstructing motor vehicles, and have threatened to resume protests on Tuesday unless plans for the quarantine facility are abandoned. Laikipia Deputy Governor Reuben Kamuri called for wider public consultation.

At least two people were killed in earlier protests, and a court order has suspended the establishment of the facility.
