By SARAH NANJALA More by this AuthorKenya is set to benefit from an additional Sh7.8 billion shilling grant from the European Union (EU) that will go towards addressing the socio-economic impact of Covid-19 in the country. “The European Union stands with Kenya during this challenging period and we recognise the severe impact this crisis is having on people’s lives. So far, the European Union has contributed more than Sh35 billion to the country’s Covid-19 response measures, with other EU member States having contributed a further Sh3.3 billion for the same. The EU noted that this will be provided through budgetary support to the government. “At the same time the support will make the borders and the ports safer to counter the spread of Covid-19.”
