Fatal shooting during Nanyuki protests

I wonder if there are specific zoning laws for biohazard sites in Kenya... would a different location have avoided this entirely?
Zoning is a formality when the government invokes national security. We saw the same thing with the railway expansions; the paperwork is always an afterthought once the funding is signed.
is there evidence the us directed the police response?
If we consider the risk of a regional outbreak, would the alternative be a total lack of containment infrastructure? Perhaps the instability stems from the urgency of the health crisis rather than the nature of the facility itself.
The report mentions the site was selected without local land surveys. The protests are as much about land tenure as they are about health security.
This is just the security assistance loop in action. We provide the training and equipment, then act surprised when the local police use those exact tools to silence dissent.
