Unbridled online outrage will not curb coronavirus

Kenyans are an enraged lot. Despite the measures announced on Saturday by the government regarding the curfew and movement restrictions effected to curb the spread of coronavirus, they are not placated. They have been in a foul mood for long and we can understand why.

These are lean times. Across the globe, businesses are doing badly and people are hurting. In Kenya though, times had been meaner and leaner for years and the pandemic just exacerbated a situation already befouled by an uncaring parental authority.
