During his speech at the national celebrations held in Wanguru stadium, Kirinyaga County, the head of state ordered that the dawn to dusk curfew that has existed in the country for close to a year now, is officially vacated.
Uhuru argued that it was prudent to lift the measure, given the diminution of the country's Covid-19 positivity rates and the fall of fatality rates to a global average.
" "I hereby order that the nationwide dusk to dawn curfew that has been in effect from March 27, 2020, be and is hereby vacated with immediate effect," Uhuru announced amid rapturous applause from those in the stadium.
