Kenyans protest proposed US Ebola facility
from Focus on Africa · host BBC World Service
Protests erupted on June 1 near a military airfield in Central Kenya where the US government is planning to establish an Ebola quarantine centre for American citizens. Construction on the site was paused last week by a Kenyan court pending a hearing into a lawsuit lodged by campaigners to block the move. However local media has reported that two US military aircraft have already delivered medical personnel and equipment to the base. The proposed quarantine facility has proven controversial with medics and the public in Kenya opposing it. Also, Nigerian Singer, Tiwa Savage speaks about legacy and her role in helping women find their space in technical and executive roles in the music industry. Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Bella Twine and Ayuba lliya Technical Producer: David Nzau Senior Producer: Keikantse Shumba Editors: Charles Gitonga and Maryam Abdalla
