A group of youth in Thika, Kiambu County has invented a spraying booth to support the fight against the COVID-19.

Their innovation was unveiled as area leaders appealed to the government not to import such machines and given the innovative Kenyans a chance to showcase their technology.

Fitted with sensors and pipes that have 18 nozzles and a motor that is fixed to a container that has disinfectants.

The automated booth machine is powered by electricity.
