President Uhuru Kenyatta has barred all Cabinet Secretaries from travelling outside Nairobi after a surge in Covid-19 cases across the country. In a memo seen by the Star, Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua said the CSs should not go out of Nairobi for the next one week. "You are advised not to move out of Nairobi for the next one week until advised otherwise. This directive takes effect from the date of this communication," the letter sent to specific CSs dated July 21 read. This comes days after a local daily reported that at least three CSs had contracted Covid-19 and are in self-isolation.
