Isiolo County Assembly Speaker Hussein Roba has appealed to the government to ease Covid-19 testing procedures to enable all Kenyans access the service across the country, saying it will aid in containing the disease.

He said the lengthy procedures regulated by the World Health Organisation are delaying the fight against the deadly disease, especially in contact tracing, and should be eased so that testing is done at workplaces, government institutions and public spaces.
