In a demand letter to the Health Ministry, the victims said they will initiate legal proceedings. "It is unlawful to have persons held in isolation and being charged up to Sh6,000 per day for accommodation in these facilities. The lawyers further said the unlawful act has been done with no regard to the said persons' financial capabilities and without their consent or agreement.
