In the wake of a positive case of coronavirus confirmation in Kenya, Mombasa county has directed that all night clubs and discos remain closed for 30 days.

Bars and Hotels will however remain open till 11pm. They will be required to provide patrons with hand sanitizers.

“All Night clubs and discos to remain closed in Mombasa for the next 30 days to control Coronavirus. Normal bars to operate up to 11PM,” the directive reads.

Bars and restaurants have also been advised to “minimize music and dancing” during the period.

The county will also require ferry attendants to provide sanitizers for all the passengers using the ferry at any given time at both ends.

The county also plans to embark on door-to-door campaigns to sensitize locals on the need to maintain high standards of hygiene.

Visitors to Mombasa will also be screened at the point of entry with the directive from the country saying SGR passengers will be provided with hand sanitizers and subjected to requisite screening.


All religious institutions within the county will also be required to provide soap and water or sanitizer to worshippers.

The latest comes just a day after a Kenyan woman who had returned home from the United States tested positive for COVID-19 virus.

The patient is said to have flown from Ohio, U.S. where she is a student.

From Chicago, she flew to London and then to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on March 5, 2020.

Passengers that she sat next to her on her way home have also been traced by health officials.

Mutahi Kagwe expressed his gratitude to the patient for taking her own initiative to be examined after she began experiencing significant symptoms.

He further urged Kenyans not to panic but continue with normal day-to-day activities.

Symptoms of coronavirus are runny nose, sore throat, cough, fever and difficulty breathing in severe cases, according to the World Health Organization.

RE: Why Mombasa City (And Nairobi ) Is Dying

Fauz,

Great cities that remain alive have character. Damascus, Rome, London & Athens have remained alive from the time they were established thousands of years ago. Modern cities like Vienna, Cape Town, Melbourne, Toronto and Montreal are great for what they are and offer.

Today, like many times before, you reminded me that Mombasa City is dying and no one is saving it. Many residents of Mombasa honestly think SGR killed it. I have never supported SGR but it didn’t kill Mombasa. The residents and leaders of Mombasa killed it. All cities and towns in a Kenya have been killed. Let me tell you why all Cities and towns in Kenya are dying.

Great Cities have beautiful transport system, power supply and water supply infrastructure. Across History, people congregate and continue living in an urban settlement because of these. Rome of 2,000 years ago had all these. When the British Colonialists built our cities less than 100 years ago, they tried to borrow modern urban planning which survived their rule. When they left in 1963, we converted our Cities and towns to villages.

Great Cities have educational institutions from Kindergarten to Universities that are world class. They also have Theatres, Museums and Hospitals that are world class. Only Nairobi tries with these. But not much. The other cities including yours have nothing. Even your own leaders don’t trust your schools or hospitals.

Great Cities have excellent restaurants, bars, clubs and liberal life. And security. Tourists go to a city that offers cuisine thst delights, lots of alcohol, entertainment and liberal sex life. Malta is a dry island but one of the richest countries because of tourism. They receive tourists five times its population. Literally, any restaurant in Malta serves 5* food. There, the government closes its eyes to prostitution and marijuana. You will hardly see Policemen in Malta yet there is no crime. Your people in Mombasa converted all bars to coffee and biriani houses. Tourists won’t travel all the way to Mombasa to take coffee or biriani. Tourists are not pilgrims. I won’t either.

And great cities have to have a working environment policy. The cities must be clean. Garbage must be collected. Urban planning is respected. Kiosks, matatus and hawkers are out of CBDs. In Kenya, kiosks, matatus, boda Boda and hawkers reign supreme. Garbage is never collected.

Bottom line, Cities in Kenya including Mombasa, Nairobi, Malindi, Naivasha, Nakuru, Nanyuki and beautiful suburbs like Karen and Westlands are dying because we have brought our villages to them. We have killed the souls of liveable cities. Cities have to have life. By killing clubs, bars, red-light districts and allowing kiosks, matatus and hawkers, we are killing our cities.

The Chinese haven’t done us much good, but they didn’t kill our cities. Our cities will only be revived if we elect leaders who are transformative and visionary. This generation is guilty of destroying Kenya and its cities with selfish and short term goals.
