But politicians have been at the forefront in violating some of the regulations set in place like the ban on public gatherings as well as the curfew.
However, Uhuru emphasised on the fact that ranks or statuses will not exempt anyone.
This is according to a draft legal notice by the Ministry of Health. The set of rules aims to govern the sale and consumption of alcoholic drinks during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Kagwe proposed the rules under the Public Health Act, Cap 242. As the coronavirus national tally hit 17,603 today, Uhuru reiterated that the country's concern is the greatest surge of infections among young Kenyans who in turn affect the elderly. Contact tracing shows social life violating the MoH guidelines is hurting the war aginst Covid-19. The President added that the low rate of deaths is giving Kenyans false comfort that the pandemic is not serious. He added that the governmnet's move to ease restrictions further made Kenyans pay no heed to MoH guidelines. "The reckless actions are endangering citizens." While lauding the police for implementing the curfew effectively, Uhuru said the government cannot police the morality of its citizens. Uhuru extended the dusk-to-dawn curfew for another 30 days citing increased Covid-19 infections. “I hereby order that the nationwide curfew remains in place for another 30 days,” he said. "Citizens must balance between their rights and responsibilities to one another." Places of Worship Following clerics' and faithful' outcry, the President had earlier ordered that places of worship be opened but adhere to MoH guidelines that included only having 100 at a time and that services would only run for an hour. But the church organisations have asked for more, and Uhuru, heeding to their calls, said the responsible teams will review that restrictions and have an extra day other than Sunday for worship. The designated day and details around it will be announced later.
