Health experts have asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to reject calls to order a total lockdown to contain Covid-19. Uhuru has been under pressure to impose a total lockdown. Sources intimated to the Star on Thursday that the government seemingly is buying the idea of total lockdown, but experts think otherwise.

Wajir South people are a good example of people who are starving.
