Uhuru had also said that the prohibition against political gatherings and all public gatherings is extended for a further 60 days. And even if the president was absent at the time when the order expires, the Interior CS will exercise the powers conferred to him by section 8(1) of the Public Order Act, and issue a statement about it. Therefore, the post that curfew ends with the absence of the president is false. Kenyans across the country will therefore continue observing the curfew hours for the next one month, until August 29. On Tuesday, the Ministry of Health reported 976 new cases of the virus, pushing the total confirmed positive cases to 198,935.
