Justice Patricia Nyaundi accepted Health CS Aden Duale's apology on Tuesday and cautioned him against future court order violations. The ruling concerns the U.S.-backed Ebola quarantine facility project in Laikipia.
Duale told the court that he had ordered the immediate suspension of all construction at Laikipia Air Base. He expressed regret over any misunderstanding and pledged to honour all court directives.
Satellite images taken on Tuesday show new white tents and metallic structures that appeared near the site. Reports indicate heavy trucks entering after dark and cargo aircraft landing at unusual hours.
Duale said Kenya has tested 104 people with Ebola-like symptoms, with none confirmed positive, and screened over 139,000 travellers at borders. President William Ruto cancelled his May 26 trip to Congo-Brazzaville after a 21-day quarantine warning.
