The government has said that Kenyans who die abroad in the current situation will not be brought home. Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Macharia Kamau on Tuesday said this includes either those who die as a result of the current Covid-19 pandemic or as a result of seeking treatment. Macharia said, so far, five Kenyans have succumbed to the disease in the US in the last one month. According to Macharia, those bodies will be buried where they are in accordance to laid down protocols in their respective host countries. The PS said about 170 Kenyans are stranded in India, some with dead patients who had gone to seek treatment.
