Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has publicly opposed the establishment of an Ebola quarantine and treatment facility in Laikipia County, alleging it is a plot to harm the Mount Kenya community.

• Gachagua claims the facility is a "strategic plan by William Ruto to wipe out the Mount Kenya community."
• Key people involved include former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and purportedly President William Ruto.
• The proposed facility in Laikipia is part of a national effort to strengthen Kenya's infectious disease outbreak response.
