In 2018, Simon Leiyan Chege, a father of two, discovered that his firstborn son, Lewis Chege, 10, was very unwell. Mr Chege, 37, had watched his son get convulsions. “We need help out of this place,” said Mr Chege. In reaction, Prime Minister Narendra Modi decreed a total lockdown on India, barring travel between cities or from cities to the rural villages. According to Mr Chege, Kenyan patients stranded in India feel it is better to be quarantined at home.
