The Kericho county assembly has suspended operations for 15 days after one staffer tested positive for the coronavirus. In a memo from clerk Martin Epus to all county assembly staff, he said staff should proceed on a leave from Friday, October 23. The clerk said that only a few staff offering essential services such as security, finance, and committee services will be allowed in the assembly. Kericho assembly joins Homa Bay County Assembly, which was closed for two weeks after one of the members tested positive for the virus. Nandi County also temporarily suspended services being offered from its headquarters in Kapsabet town after eight senior officers tested positive for Covid-19.
