Ebola: US maintains travel restrictions on Uganda despite WHO, Africa CDC calls
Washington justified keeping Uganda on the list by highlighting poor DRC contact tracing.
Democratic Party of Kenya leader Justin Muturi has urged Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale to resign if he cannot explain lapses in Ebola screening procedures at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Muturi called for an independent investigation into claims that a Congolese traveller, who may have interacted with healthcare workers, patients and members of the public, was cleared for travel following a phone call before being admitted to a hospital.
The allegations, which Muturi said raised serious concerns about airport screening, travel information sharing and public health protocols, have not been independently verified. Muturi challenged Duale to provide a credible account of the Ministry's handling of the situation, demonstrate that safeguards were implemented, and restore public confidence through transparent accountability.
