The Cabinet Secretary for Health, Aden Duale, has regretted any actions he has taken over the establishment of an Ebola facility against court orders that were issued temporarily blocking him and the government from proceeding with the establishment.

Appearing before Justice Patricia Nyaundi on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, for mitigation and sentencing after the court found him in contempt of the court orders that were issued, Duale has stated that he holds court orders in the highest regard.

In his mitigation, Duale has told the court that as a citizen, as a minister, and as a public servant, he will be the last person to disregard that order and the last person to violate any constitutional order, even by any court.

“I sincerely regret any action, omission, misunderstanding, or misinterpretation that may have resulted in a non-compliance with the order of this court or created the perception thereof,” Duale submitted to the court.
