As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread, President Uhuru Kenyatta is faced with a daunting task: balancing the lives of Kenyans with the economic impact of the pandemic. With over 7,000 cases and rising, the government has taken significant measures to protect its citizens, including setting up a COVID-19 fund and mobilizing Kenyans to work in unity and cooperation.
However, despite these efforts, some counties have mismanaged the corona funds, enriching themselves at the expense of the lives of all Kenyans. This has put a strain on the country's healthcare system, with hospitals currently overwhelmed with cases.
As the President prepares to make an announcement on reopening the country, Kenyans must understand that their personal responsibility plays a crucial role in preventing a surge of coronavirus infections. By following the directives set out by the Ministry of Health, including social distancing, hand sanitizing, and face mask-wearing, Kenyans can help prevent a likelihood of a surge in infections.
With the country's 45 million citizens at stake, President Kenyatta's decision will be a delicate balancing act between lives and livelihoods. As Kenyans await the President's announcement, they must play their part in following the given directives to prevent a repeat of the scenario where countries opened up and later shut down abruptly.
