Meru Woman Rep Kawira Mwangaza has urged Kenyans to limit travels during Easter weekend to help curb the spread of coronavirus.  

In a broadcast homily on her vernacular TV station, Baite TV, the MP urged Kenyans to heed to the government’s guidelines to curb the spread of Covid-19.  

OBEY RULES

“Let Kenyans obey the rules and advice from Health CS Mutahi Kagwe. My Message to Kenyans is that, whatever we have lost during this time of coronavrus will be restored in double portions as God restored for his faithful servant Job after he lost everything,” said Ms Mwangaza.

MISUSE POWERS

She urged police and other law enforcement agencies to be humane while dealing with the public.

"The instructions issued by President Uhuru Kenyatta are in good faith, they are meant to save us from it [coronavirus]. Let us not misuse the powers we have been given to harass our people. Majority of Kenyans have genuine reasons why they get late when it’s time to be indoors, some are sick. I have seen chiefs and police beating up women and disabled people and pouring their stuff in markets,” said Ms Mwangaza.
