Narc Kenya has censured President Uhuru Kenyatta for imposing a new lockdown to combat a surge in Covid-19 cases without outlining measures to address consequent economic hardships. Party leader Martha Karua noted that the second lockdown comes at a time when businesses were beginning to recover from restrictions imposed in March last year. “We are greatly aggrieved that the Jubilee administration did not outline any measures to address these hardship realities as they announced the lockdown,” she said. Karua said it was for this reason that Kenyans reacted with shock to the announcement of the second lockdown. He argued that countries that have been able to arrest the infection are those that went into total lockdown.
