A city magistrate and a Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldier will spend the long Easter weekend behind bars after they were arrested on Friday night partying past curfew hours in Nairobi. The suspects will spend the Easter in police cells until Tuesday, April 14, when they will be arraigned in court. “It has turned out that a magistrate is in a weekend carousel of 30 people; contravening directives on Covid-19. To combat the spread of Covid-19, President Uhuru Kenyatta imposed a 10-hour nationwide daily curfew running from 7pm to 5am. Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe on Thursday insisted that people should stay home over the long Easter weekend since there are no parties and all bars are closed.
