No Ebola Millionaires Duale Promises to Publish Every Shilling Spent

Health CS says Kenyans will see how Ebola money was used, and he will take the report to Parliament

Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has promised that no one will get rich from Kenya's Ebola response and that Kenyans will see where the money went.

Speaking on Wednesday, 11th November 2026, Duale said the ministry will publish a full report once the 42 day countdown ends. There will be no Ebola millionaires. After 42 days we will publish the support we got from our partners and how the money was spent. I will table it before Parliament he said.

Duale spoke at a press conference in Nairobi. The countdown starts on Thursday, 12th November, and Kenya could be declared Ebola free on 23rd December if no new case appears. The last patient has been discharged and the final 11 contacts have left quarantine. The 42 days are twice the longest incubation period of 21 days.

Last month, Duale vowed to stop corruption and profiteering in the response, saying procurement and spending would be closely watched.

Kenya is not relaxing. Kenyans returning from affected areas will complete a health declaration before travel be screened on arrival and follow 21 days of quarantine. Elsewhere in the region, infections are still rising.

Duale said the 42 day period is a global timeline set by the World Health Organization not a Kenyan one. He said the threat has been contained and no restrictions have been placed on travel, trade or tourism.
