Starehe MP Charles Kanyi Njagua aka Jaguar has pleaded with President Uhuru Kenyatta to emulate Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni and stop landlords from evicting tenants over unpaid or delayed rent during the Covid-19 outbreak. He asked landlords who can waive rent to do so for their tenants. On Monday, President Kenyatta asked landlords across the country not to put tenants in an undue pressure to pay rent. President Kenyatta during the state of the nation address said the current situation calls on compassion and understanding. He said he was pleased with the landlords who had already put measures in place to waive rent for their tenants until the situation is stable.
