@ppchetiPolice in Lamu have released all minor offenders on police bond or bail to decongest cells and curb the spread of the coronavirus. Coronavirus infection has yet to be reported in prisons and police cells in the county, according to police boss Moses Muriithi. Speaking in Lamu on Friday, Muriithi said the move has prevented the virus from the cells. He said overcrowding in the cells and prisons provide the perfect ground for the spread of the coronavirus. We’ve also been encouraging people to wash hands when entering or leaving the stations and prison,” Muriithi said.
