Timothy Gitahi, an event-based disc jockey (Dj) in Nakuru found himself at an unfamiliar territory since the first Covid-19 case was reported in Kenya. 

He has retreated to the village to tend his 20 by 20 farm following the government ban on all social gatherings which is what his trade thrives on. “I usually entertain guests during ceremonies like weddings, corporate and state events, meetings and conferences. But now all these have been banned,” says Gitahi, famously known as DJ Teemoh.
