Decision comes after Aden Duale was held in contempt for ignoring previous high court ruling to stop work

Many Kenyans strongly oppose the plan and deadly protests have erupted since the facility was announced in May for US citizens evacuated from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is grappling with a large-scale Ebola outbreak.
