The new case brings the total number of people diagnosed with the illness in Kenya to four.

"The four are healthy and are being looked after. The search for those that the patient has been in contact with is ongoing. We continue to ask the citizen to maintain hygiene,” said Kagwe.

More than half of Nairobi has no water . No tap water, no drinking water, No water.

The basic function of government is to provide water.

Place like Turkana, Baringo, wajir, Garissa, Isiolo, Marsabit, Taveta, Taita, Tana river,Moyale, Samburu, Meru, Siaya, Kisii, Kilifi, Homabay ....basically every county in Kenya has no clean drinking water.

Telling people to wash hands with imaginary water is inhumane.

Mbona wasafiri wanapofika kutoka ulaya hawambiwi wakae karantini kwa wiki mbili kabla yao kuchanganyika na umati ? Wanangoja hadi washa changanyika na umati kisha wana anza kuwatafuta
Walio kutana na wadhirika kazi inafanywa ngumu tu.
Hatari.
