Don't pay upkeep while at isolation centres - Muhuri

Muslim for Human Rights (Muhuri) Chairman Khelef Khalifa.

Muslim for Human Rights (Muhuri) wants the High Court to compel the government to take up the bill incurred by people put in mandatory quarantine in State hospitals and facilities over Covid-19 pandemic.

The group also wants the court to issue orders to suspend upkeep payments by those in quarantine. They are unhappy the government is forcing people to pay Sh2,000 at their facilities notwithstanding the prevailing economic situation with massive job losses, which have taken away possible means of earning a living due to the government restraints put in place.
