Courts, tribunals and all registries in Nairobi, Machakos, Kajiado, Kiambu and Nakuru counties shall from today be closed to the public until otherwise notified in a move aimed at curbing the spread of Covid-19. Acting Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu directed Sunday that any matters requiring a hearing during the period under these guidelines shall be by way of virtual hearing. The guidelines shall be reviewed as circumstances allow, and updates shall be given on a needs basis, she added. Elsewhere, the Public Service Commission (PSC) will from Monday also scale down its operations over the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. Rotich told staff to voluntarily present themselves for the free Covid-19 vaccination programme offered by the Ministry of Health.
