Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has appealed to Kenyans to strictly observe the Covid-19 protocols saying the disease was real.

In a statement after testing positive for the disease, Mr Odinga said he had taken mandatory quarantine despite feeling strong and in good shape for the last two days he has been in hospital.

“Covid-19 is real, it is in our midst and we need to observe all measures being put by the government, scientists and health personnel,” Mr Odinga said in the March 11 statement.
