As the world grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic, Kenya's economy has taken a significant hit due to the containment measures put in place by the government. The country's economy has been severely impacted, with many businesses struggling to stay afloat.
On May 15, 2020, the government implemented strict movement restrictions and a night curfew to slow the spread of the virus. While these measures have been effective in reducing the number of cases, they have also had a devastating impact on the economy.
Many businesses have been forced to close their doors, resulting in widespread job losses and economic hardship. The government has been under pressure to ease the restrictions, but it remains to be seen whether this will happen anytime soon.
