The Taita Taveta county assembly speaker Meshack Maghanga has rubbished claims that the assembly had been temporarily closed after members tested positive for Coronavirus. The assembly will continue adhering to the set protocols to combat possible spread of the virus,” the speaker said. The assembly last week suspended all its activities for two weeks after three staffers tested positive for coronavirus. Assembly clerk Gadiel Maghanga said the premises would remain shut as all workers proceeded on a 14-day self-quarantine. Governor Granton Samboja in a statement on Tuesday confirmed that the recent wave of Covid-19 cases in the county had impacted both the county executive and the assembly.
