The COVID-19 situation in the country is getting worse day by day ever since the cessation ban was lifted by president Uhuru Kenyatta. Institutions and offices are now being forced to close down to help stop further spread of the virus.
The National Treasury and ICT Ministry closed its premises after dozens of employees tested positive for COVID-19.
At the ICT Ministry, employees were asked to go home after one of their colleagues succumbed to the virus.
Telecommunications Principal Secretary, Esther Koimett said the staff will resume work on July 27 after monitoring the situation.
“In this regard, all staff/interns will be required to work from home. During this time, access to the office will be restricted, except where there is clearance by the respective Principal Secretary,” Koimett said in a staff memo.
