Allow the well-to-do get the commercial Covid-19 vaccines

OPINION I had the chance to be vaccinated against coronavirus in mid-March when Kiambu Governor James Nyoro also got the jab, but I was not.

I regretted not joining them that night, but as President Uhuru Kenyatta said while launching the drive, I was not ready or willing to be vaccinated. Many other Kenyans held a wait-and-see attitude and vaccination centres were virtually empty as Ministry of Health officials urged them to take the jab. By the time I made up my mind, most people appeared to have also realised the vaccine was good for them and the rush was on. People travelled far in search of the life-saving vaccine.

Kiambu Waives Taxes for Traders

Kiambu Waives Taxes for Traders Kiambu Governor James Nyoro appearing before Senate Committee on Monday, August 10, 2020. Twitter Thousands of Kiambu residents are set to benefit after Kiambu Governor James Nyoro waived taxes in various sectors. A report by NTV on Tuesday, April 27, indicated that market levies for those trading in livestock as well as bus park fees for all transport vehicles including Boda Bodas and tuktuks were waived. For matatu operators, 60 per cent of the regular requisite payments was waived while landowners received 100 per cent waiver on all penalties accrued as of December 2020. The move is likely to attract traders from the neighbouring Nairobi and Machakos counties into areas such as Githurai, Ruaka, Thika and Kikuyu where the waiver will be effected.
