Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe issued the orders last month, saying such gatherings risked increasing infections. The clerics termed the pandemic as 'wrath of God against wickedness' called on the government to uphold the freedom of worship. This week, Vihiga County will begin fumigation of its 21 markets as it intensifies the fight against Covid-19 pandemic, Governor Wilber Ottichilo said.
