Covid-19 after demolishing most of the supper powers, it thought Africa will be a walk over! We’ve hit covid-19 with anything we came across, women brass, plastics bottles, matawi ya sukuma, served as  Masks,  now  cow urine as sanitizer.

A section of nomadic pastoralists in Turkana County is using strange measures to keep Covid-19 at bay.

The residents are using urine from a female cattle to disinfect their hands after the Ministry of Health issued a number of directives on how to keep the virus at bay.

On Thursday, when Turkana Governor Josphat Nanok was receiving a donation comprising sanitisers and facemasks from the United High Commissioner for Refugees, he confirmed that cattle urine is used in remote places where water is scarce.

Mr Nanok said that the urine has been instrumental in disinfecting cows’ udders and teats before milking.

He said that he was aware that villagers in remote parts of the county were using ng’acoto (cattle urine) as a disinfectant.
