Ruto’s Message to Raila After Testing Positive For Covid-19; Raila May Have Got Covid From a Mombasa Family & Politicians Who Interacted With Raila Before Testing Positive

Good morning fellow Kenyans,

A year after Kenya recorded its first case of Covid-19, the deadly virus is still within us.

The rate of community transmission has significantly risen in recent times. This has been fuelled by our never-changing attitude while approaching Covid-19 protocols in our day to day lives.

With the latest prominent person to have confirmed that he has tested positive for the virus being Raila Odinga, it is high time that we accept that we are at risk of getting the virus if we don’t conform to set procedures.

We must take the personal initiative of ensuring we do whatever we can to salvage the situation that is almost slipping from our hands given the looming third wave.

We must also appreciate leaders such as Raila who have come out to speak publicly of testing positive for the virus. While we agree that the disease is deadly, it is prudent that we appreciate we are humans and capable of testing positive for the virus.

We should never be put into a speculative situation as is the case with Tanzania where the government is mum on the status of its President.

We hold on to these simple facts about the virus and take caution, we will no doubt be a step closer to beating this virus.

That aside, here are our top stories today:
