Nairobi County government has closed all non-essential offices for 30 days amid escalating Covid-19 third wave positive cases. Announcing the closure of the offices, Nairobi Deputy Governor Ann Kananu said the move has been necessitated by the need to curtail the spread of coronavirus disease. However, critical and essential services will continue uninterrupted in the county government during the period. The services include health services, disaster management and coordination (fire fighters), revenue collection services, water, environment and sanitation, finance and economic planning, procurement and supply chain services, security services as well as public communications and customer service. “Nairobi County chief officers have been instructed to ensure essential services continue as we implement the Presidential directives,” she said.
