Questions have emerged over government’s commitment to enforcing Covid-19 regulations in western Kenya, which has become a stomping ground for politicians. Western Region Commissioner Ann Ng’etich yesterday maintained that the disruption of political gatherings was in line with the law. The top security officer in the region could not, however, explain why other meetings were being disrupted as others go on. Two weeks ago, Lugari MP Ayub Savula was arrested in Butere, accused of flouting the Covid regulations. On the same day, the Wamalwa team was in Vihiga meeting elders and professionals.
