President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday morning said that his government did not want to lock down the country over Covid-19. "We do not want to lockdown Kenyans in their houses like in other countries because what will they eat," the President said. He, however, warned that Kenyans must follow all the directives issued by the government if a lockdown was to be avoided. "If we don't follow the directives given by the government we shall have no option than ordering for lockdown. But I know the implications of lockdown and that's why I don't want us to follow that route" Uhuru said.
