The government has dismissed claims that it has ruled out evacuation of Kenyans living abroad. He said most of the countries hosting Kenyans are on lockdown with no form of movement allowed either on land, sea or air. He said some of the Kenyans who are stranded are undocumented and the ministry is facing challenges in trying to respond to their calls. Kamau said some Kenyans including students are stranded in Spain, 21 other students are stranded in Hungary and 61 training assistants stranded in France. Some other 18 Kenyans who had traveled as tourists in Australia are also stranded with Iran having over 200 students stranded.
