Activists in city demo over loss of Covid-19 funds

Protestors hold demos in Nairobi over theft of Covid-19 funds

What you need to know:

  • Police demanded that the protesters disperse from freedom corner. 

  • They later regrouped at the Kencom bus stage, where police arrested some of them.

Police on Friday morning confronted protesters at freedom corner, Nairobi during a peaceful demo over the loss of Covid-19 funds.

The protest, dubbed #ArrestCovid19Thieves, was organised to demand accountability for the use of Covid-19 billions amid reports that funds allocated to deal with the pandemic may have been diverted to other uses not related to the disease, misapplied or misappropriated.
