By AGGREY MUTAMBOMore by this AuthorThe government of Denmark has boosted Kenya’s fight against the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) with a Sh320 million donation to the country’s emergency fund. Danish Minister for Development Cooperation Rasmus Prehn said the 22 million Danish Kroner, to be channelled through the World Bank, will be used to boost Kenya’s emergency response to the global pandemic. Prehn had made the pledges last week after speaking with Kenya’s National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yattani. But the Danish minister said his country is taking a ‘frontline’ approach to both local and international combat against the virus. “Covid-19 threatens lives and livelihoods, and a rapid response is needed for food security, nutrition, and schooling,” he added.
