The sixth devolution conference is expected to commence next week with all the 47 governors counties expected to attend in Nyeri where they will be hosted under their Chairmanship of governor Anne Waiguru
With only a day to the sixth devolution conference, Kirinyaga County Public Health officers have distributed over 100,000 condoms for use during the occasion.
The condoms were given out for free at all the social places including bars, restaurants and hotels for partners who want to engage in safe sex during the period. When one of the local media caught up with one of the distributors, they said they had to ensure all the visitors were safe.
“We ordered for these condoms well in advance since we are aware of the nature of human beings, they will certainly be socializing but should be in a safe manner,” he said on condition of hidden identity.
Hospitality service providers said that although the free condoms had been distributed to their premises, they too had some in stock for the Monday conference.
Governor Anne Waiguru issued a notice to all PSV operators informing them of changes in routes.According to the notice, all PSVs from Nairobi to Kerugoya will use the Sagana Kagia Baicho route and vice versa and completely avoid Kutus town which is the venue of the conference.
