Don’t get too comfortable over county rent waiver

I recently heard that Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko waived rent for six months for tenants living in houses belonging to the County Government over the economic effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Has this been effected? Why is it that the Government does not also force other landlords to also waive rents for tenants who do not live in county houses as we are equally affected by the corona pandemic?
