President Uhuru Kenyatta’s reintroduction of Covid-19 containment measures has dealt a blow to the political class who are not allowed to hold any political gatherings for the next 30 days.
During his televised address to the nation from State House on Friday, President Kenyatta spelled out new containment measures, chief among them the ban on political gatherings for one month.
Burials will now also be held strictly within 72 hours, while weddings will be allowed to have no more than 100 guests.

The overwhelming endorsement of the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020, by county assemblies despite widespread speculation that President Uhuru Kenyatta’s pet project would face headwinds, is perhaps yet another surprise in the President’s chequered political career.
It was even thought that the Bill, popularly known as the BBI Bill, would be rejected in his Mt Kenya backyard.
Writing on October 7, 2012, newspaper columnist Makau Mutua said: “There is nothing that shows Mr Kenyatta lives in a thoughtless utopia. He is a cold, calculating political animal. He knows what–and what won’t fly.”
