The U.S. President Donald Trump administration is requesting Ksh 181.5 billion from Congress for Ebola response efforts, which includes Ksh 103.7 billion for a potential quarantine center in Kenya.

• The proposed funding includes USD 800 million for a controversial Ebola quarantine center at Laikipia Air Base, a project currently facing legal challenges in Kenya's High Court.
• This allocation is part of a larger USD 1.4 billion request aimed at containing the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
• The Kenyan High Court has temporarily halted the establishment of the facility pending a petition filed by Katiba Institute, citing concerns over public safety and national sovereignty.
