President Uhuru Kenyatta with opposition leaders at State House, Mombasa on 18th of August 2021.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has met Opposition leaders at Mombasa state house earlier today to discuss a variety of issues, chief among them being how to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. After the meeting, an announcement was made to the effect that the current 10pm to 4am curfew in place is unconstitutional null and void.

The law enforcement officers have been ordered to implement their duties as provided for in the Constitu
