Daily curfew from 7pm - 5am effective Friday

Field Marshal said:
He he he he he, don't you just love some of the solutions being pro-offered here?

Food banks/soup kitchens, 80% per cent salaries for laid-off/kwarantined workers, cash-through-Mpesa for all..................................

NEGROES, first you breed like rats and then only about 3.5 million of you pay taxes. TELL ME WHICH GAVAMENT IN THE WORLD CAN FEED 80 PER CENT OF ITS PEOPLE ON THE TAXES OF JUST 8 PER CENT OF THE POPULATION?

And don't tell me that EVERYBODY pays taxes through VAT. Virtually everything that peasants consume (milk, unga, salt etc etc) is tax-free, and most of what the gavament collects is used to give the children of the same peasants free education and university loans (DOES THIS HAPPEN IN THE US, THE RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD?) and health care.

The fact is, Uhuru's interventions are just about what the gavament can do at the moment. I have seen Ndii's letter to Uhuru in his online magazine, and the guy is talking of giving Kenyan workers a monthly stipend of Sh30,000 pm for 4 months to survive the crisis nikacheka sana. Do those waitresses/barbers/barmen/manambas/drivers/ etc etc even earn that much in normal times? And who says corona will last 4 months? What if, like the Spanish Flu, it lasts two years?

I know I have been sounding condescending of late but I just have to tell jamaaz here the truth; to survive a pandemic like corona, people have to be sensible and play their part. You as an individual MUST use all the resources at YOUR disposal to keep your family safe. Wash your hands. Avoid unnecessary movements. Isolate and kwarantaine when necessary. Stock up on dry foods to avoid daily trips to the supermarket, etc etc.

On the alternative, you can keep up this wankfest of blaming everybody but yourself and we see where it'll get you. I have seen it all happen before, for example people engaging in careless sex and then complaining in the media how MoH is inefficient in distributing free ARVs. I have also seeen people frothing at the mouth when Uhuru told them that 'security starts with you' because it has become cooportunitiesol to think 'gavament' somehow owes them everything.

Look, JUST DO THE FERKING RIGHT THING on a personal level. If countries like Italy, Spain and the US are getting overwhelmed, who is Kenya?

YOU'LL SURVIVE TO COMPLAIN ANOTHER DAY.

while I agree with your common theme of personal responsibility, but I strongly disagree with your seeming dismissal of the role the government plays, or should play, governance is not about decrees only, I think it should go further than that.

Now will a curfew play a major part in curtailing the spread of the virus, let us hope so, but I dont think its wrong to point out the apparent loopholes that seem to be associated with the directive, it was mentioned that models have been done and are being used, of course from a citizens end you just go along and believe what you are told otherwise ... but I know the climate change model for instance can not run accurately due to limited data and we are talking about data from around 1930-50 hapo, maybe we have advanced models that can take 2 or 3 data clusters and produce the magic.

I think they are doing their best in this issue, but at times ones best is not always enough.

Hio curfew yake haiwezi fanya kazi. Mchina atadai schedule ya SGR isiguswe.

So kama unatoka Mombasa na train inafika Syokimau 8:20pm utalala station?

Au kama unasafiri na train ya 7am kutoka Nairobi na unatoka Utawala useme ungojewe ndio time ya curfew isikupate nje?

I am opposed to directives that have no clear benefits, and which are likely to yield the opposite of the intended results. We have policy makers that seem to reside elsewhere other than in this country. About the 7 pm curfew, does it mean no one in the government is aware that the transport system in the city cannot evacuate everyone by that time, even when the vehicles are carrying full capacity? Increasingly, it seems like someone is about to make a very expensive blunder, one that will lead to social unrest. We are heading to a point where peasants will be forced to stay at home without food, a situation that will lead to chaos.

That was my reaction as well..wish he could have said from 9pm to 5am that’s more practical atleast in Nairobi.
7pm mean you have to leave work by 4pm latest and hope traffic is not so bad!!

Ni kama haukuelewa vile niliuliza.

Vile SGR hufika past curfew times on both ends, does it mean services will be suspended/modified? If not, saa moja ikikupata kwa train itabidi ulale kwa hio station?

Yes they will have to adjust timings to abide, that's what a curfew means.
If that will happen, waiting see.
