Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma has entered the Ebola quarantine facility debate with a proposal that is equal parts serious and strategic, calling on President Ruto to redirect the American-funded project to his own backyard rather than abandon it altogether.
Kaluma acknowledged the president's argument that Kenya genuinely needs quarantine infrastructure, pointing to the country's porous borders and the large number of Kenyan citizens living in the DRC, Uganda and across the East African Community region. He accepted that the threat is real and that preparedness matters.
However, his proposal came with a very specific condition. Rather than hosting the facility in Nanyuki where residents have protested furiously against it, Kaluma asked the president to tell the United States to build it in Homa Bay instead.
