President Uhuru Kenyatta has hinted that the nationwide 4:00 am – 10:00 pm curfew will be lifted soon.

Speaking to Karatina residents on 18th October, President Kenyatta said the curfew may be lifted but urged Kenyans to stay vigilant and continue observing Covid-19 protocols.

“In the days to come, we will look at it, I’m working, and very soon, you will hear it, I do not want to speak too early but very soon,” the President said.

“You need to also protect yourself from the disease, so that when we re-open there are no more deaths, and you will be free to live as you want,” he added.

The Head of State also noted that he was happy to see how some Kenyans were responding to Covid-19 protocols.

“I’m also happy to say that I’m very contented, you know why? Because, these days, you go home early and you are now multiplying, or who do you think will vote tomorrow if you don’t multiply?”

The dusk to dawn curfew which has lasted for over one year was implemented by the government in an effort to slow the spread of the Covid-19 in the country.

On 4th October, Health Cabinet Secretary, Mutahi Kagwe, announced the further extension of the curfew by 30 days.

Kagwe had also announced that the re-opening of the country was dependent on vaccination numbers.

So far a total of 4,520,753 vaccines had been administered across the country. Of these 3,303,782 have been partially vaccinated while 1,216,971 have been fully vaccinated.
