Your careless behaviors have forced the government to impose tough regulations to stop the spread of Covid 19.

President Uhuru Kenyatta has placed counties of Nairobi, Nakuru, Kajiado, Machakos, and Kiambu  on a lock down to stop the spread
of the killer disease.

In his national address, Kenyatta invoked Executive Order following
the rising number of infections in the named counties.

The directive by the President followed reports from hospitals that
they are full of Covid 19 patients.

“Curfew time in the give counties was reviewed from 8 pm to 4 am. In other
counties the period remains between 10 pm to 4 am,” said the President.

In the affected counties,  the President
banned travel by road, air,  and railway in efforts to contain the disease, as he ordered for the review of special passes  to curb abuse.

 He further suspended the
county assemblies in the affected zones as he directed the speakers of the
senate and the national assembly to follow suit.

Those arriving in Kenya through planes are required to have
obtained Covid 19 certificates, as part of keeping the country free from the
disease.

 He pleaded with Kenyans to
ignore the theories expressed by individuals discrediting Covid 19 vaccine.

 This week, Murang’a
Governor Mwangi wa Iria proposed a law that will impose an Sh1,000 fine for
those who will be found in public without wearing face masks.
