Politicians and party chiefs are using new strategies to reach out to their supporters following the state’s fresh clampdown on public gatherings. On Friday, Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe announced a ban on public gatherings and in-person meetings until further notice. Activities lined up by President Uhuru Kenyatta, DP Ruto, Raila, among other politicians were affected by the fresh directives. However, observers raised concerns as to whether politicians will adhere to the directives restricting public gatherings. Various leaders have been holding public gatherings despite the nationwide ban, meetings which health experts say are triggering Covid-19 waves.
