Nairobi — All eyes are on President Uhuru Kenyatta, as he prepares to make a major statement on Saturday on the fate of the COVID-19 restrictions, including the night curfew.
The President was expected to address the nation on Saturday when he will also issue directions on the cessation of movement in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kilifi, Kwale and Mandera where restrictions were imposed three weeks ago when he extended the duration for earlier measures.
Kenya has been implementing a dusk-to-dawn curfew for the past two months as part of measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 which had infected 2,474 by June 5.
Associations of traders in various sectors in the country have been calling for the re-opening of the measures to help kickstart the economy which has slowed since March when the first COVID-19 case was confirmed in the country.
On Friday, Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi and his Health counterpart Mutahi Kagwe help a meeting with religious leaders who presented them a raft of proposals for the re-opening of the places of worship.
