By MAUREEN KAKAHMore by this AuthorA Catholic priest will be the second person in the country to be charged with knowingly spreading the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) in the country. Rome-based Fr Richard Odour, who was arrested soon after being discharged from hospital having suffered Covid-19, will be arraigned tomorrow (Tuesday). President Uhuru Kenyatta and Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe also said Fr Odour should face charges similar to those Kilifi Deputy Governor Gideon Saburi faced – of knowingly spreading the deadly Covid-19. Like the priest, Mr Saburi had also travelled outside the country and failed to quarantine himself upon his return. At least 59 people who are believed to have come into contact with the Catholic priest who tested positive for coronavirus were put on quarantine by the government.
