Initially thought to be an equaliser between the rich and the poor, the coronavirus has exposed the deep-rooted inequality in Kenya. And unlike the rich, the poor have nowhere to hide. Nairobi predominantly depends on the counties of Kiambu, Nyandarua and those from the North Rift for its food supply. Last week eight counties under the North Rift Economic Bloc followed suit and agreed to enforce joint measures to be more effective in stopping the coronavirus. The closure of markets in the North Rift and Kiambu has greatly disrupted the food supply chain in Nairobi.
