In Kisumu: 38 arrested for jogging while 40 gossippers in Kajiado led by Atwoli go free.
Kenya is the most unequal country in this part of the world.
Twenty seven residents of Kisumu drawn from Nyalenda and Milimani areas were on Friday morning (May 29) arrested while exercising.
Kisumu Senior Principal Magistrate Robinson Ondieki was told that the 38 , including seven minors, gathered in contravention of COVID-19 safety directives that prohibit gatherings made up of more than 15 people.
The accused pleaded guilty to the charges pressed against them, and were freed on Ksh1, 000 each
Double standards
A reknowned blogger Robert Alak took to twitter and complained too.
” The same country. Old political conmen can meet in hundreds and risk lives while a 7 year old boy can’t even step out of the house to jog.
The police and mainstream media like Daily Nation focuses on young people while the likes of Atwoli can continue risking lives.” he wrote.
One may be forgiven for thinking that some people are above the law
