Some 402 people were over the weekend arrested for going against directives meant to combat the spread of COVID-19.
According to Interior PS Karanja Kibicho, the individuals who he referred to as “idiots” were arrested on Sunday as they tried to go against government directives.
Quoting Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, Kibicho said the “idiots” do not understand that the restrictions are meant to save their lives.
“You heard Museveni recently saying God has the whole world to take care of, he is not just in Uganda looking after idiots who don’t want to follow instructions,” the PS told Inooro FM.
“So let us (Kenyans) also know that God has a lot of work to do. We have 402 idiots we arrested yesterday trying to challenge and tell the government ‘stop saving my life’ because that is the message they are communicating,” he added.
“Once you are out during curfew hours, it is assumed that you have been exposed to the disease,” the CS warned.
The ministry of health has insisted that those in forced quarantine will be freed should they test negative for the novel COVID-19
