Kenyan Court Convicts Local Health Official Of Criminal Contempt — For Refusing Its Final Order To Stop Work On The Purported “US / Ebola Colony” Tents.

So, this all has a decidedly strong stank — of being part of a behind scenes bribe, from Trump surrogates, to the Minister of Health, inside Kenya. And now he may be jailed for it — for criminal contempt.

Charming. We will know one way or the other, in a few days.

Just as would be true in the US, no Kenyan health official has independent, unchecked authority to bind his nation to a deal with any foreign power — at least not without the Bunge (both houses of the legislature, there) or William Ruto’s (the President’s) prior approvals, in writing.

Here’s the latest, from the Beeb — on it all.

…Kenya’s Health Minister Aden Duale has been found guilty of contempt of court over his handling of the construction of a controversial US-funded Ebola quarantine facility.

Last month, the High Court halted the building of the 50-bed isolation centre at a military base in the town of Nanyuki until a case brought by a rights group could be heard.

But on Monday, a judge ruled that Duale had ignored the order and allowed the project to continue. He is to be sentenced on Tuesday.

The quarantine facility is intended for US citizens who are suspected to have contracted Ebola in the current outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo….

Now you know. Onward, resolutely. Just like the reflecting pool/swamp deal — this one stinks — to high heaven.
