Police on Sunday dispersed traders from Kibuye as they enforced a ban by the Kisumu county government on official market days. Governor Anyang' Nyong'o last week banned all official market days to contain the spread of coronavirus. The anti-riot officers were forced to lob teargas canisters at the traders to disperse them. Mary Akoth said most traders live from hand to mouth and will suffer if the market is closed. The official market day is on Sunday, but traders access it daily.
