However, this week has seen multiple leaders, including the President himself, trashing COVID-19 guidelines concerning social distancing.

The State House is yet to comment on the matter.
In another meeting attended by the Deputy President William Ruto, a host of community leaders from Kajiado were bundled in a tent where the deputy president addressed them. He later stood for a photo session with a section of the attendants, with each of the setting done without observance to social distancing.
While appearing in Kericho for a regular press briefing on the state of COVID-19 pandemic, Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe was addressing a multitude that had come to listen to him.
The irony of communicating Coronavirus guidelines and breaking them at all times, angered a section of Kenyans.
