Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has defended Kenya's Ebola preparedness and quarantine measures in court against challenges from the Katiba Institute and the Law Society of Kenya.

• Duale argued the government's response is legally grounded, scientifically informed, and necessary to protect public health from regional outbreaks, citing Executive Order No. 1 of 2025.
• Key organizations involved include the Ministry of Health, Katiba Institute, the Law Society of Kenya, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC).
• The preparedness measures were triggered by an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, with the WHO declaring it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on May 16, 2026.
