President Uhuru Kenyatta has directed Transport CS James Macharia and Health CS Mutahi Kagwe to revise Covid-19 guidelines for the public transport sector. Uhuru told Kagwe and Macharia to consult with all stakeholders before rolling out the new rules. The public transport sector has been using guidelines provided by the President last year and revised by CS Macharia. The rules require passengers to wear face masks, sit a metre apart and sanitise before boarding matatus. Travelers were also expected to provide their details to the relevant public health authorities upon request for contact tracing purposes.
