Sijui kwanini ndugu zetu wa kusini wanachukulia hiki kitu poa namna hii, watu hawataki kuingiwa na hofu na kuona kinavyoifanya dunia, wamekalia kwenye kauli za "tusitishane". Wanasiasa akina Makonda bado wanakusanya maskini na kuwahutubia mijini.
Kenya hapa kuna mwanasiasa alifanya uzembe na amesubiriwa apone tu kisha afunguliwe mashtaka. Huu sio muda wa kufanya mazoea.
Mama kaikimbia karantini na kuchukua usafiri wa bus hadi Iringa, yaani kawaponza wasafiri wenzake wote.....
Hongera kwa timu iliyomsaka na kumrejesha.

The Kenyan government, through the Ministry of Health (MoH), on Wednesday revealed that one of the patients who tested positive for Coronavirus escaped the isolation facility at Mbagathi Hospital and came into contact with 85 people.
The female patient is said to have left the isolation facility without permission after which the government deployed the security apparatus to track her down and was able to apprehend her.
"
We had a patient who was brought to Mbagathi and she tested positive. She left the facility without authorization but through the security team we were able to track her down and have established her contacts. As at now, we are tracking down 85 of her contacts and will give a brief on the results," MoH's Director General Dr Patrick Amoth announcedat a press briefing held by Health CS Mutahi Kagwe.
During the briefing, Kagwe announced Kenya had 3 new confirmed cases of coronavirus - bringing the total number of
positive cases to 7.
The CS added that 18 patients were being held at Mbagathi Hospital awaiting results, reiterating that those with suspected cases were legally required to quarantine and risked a jail sentence for defying the isolation order.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 18 – A search has been mounted for 85 people who came into contact with a coronavirus patient who had escaped from Mbagathi Hospital in Nairobi.
Deputy Director of Medical Services at the Ministry of Health Dr Patrick Amoth said the patient escaped from a quarantine facility, but was traced and taken back by security forces.
“There was a patient in Mbagathi apparently who left the facility and through security operators, in the country, we traced and brought her back and she tested positive, We are looking for 85 patients actively and will give updates on the contacts we are following,” he told a news conference in Nairobi Wednesday, when Kenya announced an additional three coronavirus cases, raising the number to 7. The woman who escaped was among the three.
The three new cases include a couple who arrived from Madrid, Spain, through Dubai on March 4.
The third case, he said, is of a Burundian citizen-who arrived from Dubai and was isolated upon arrival at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) due to high body temperatures.
“He was picked up by our surveillance team with high temperature during routine screening at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport,” said Health CS Mutahi Kagwe.
So far, 18 people are admitted to to the Mbagathi isolation centre, 7 others have been screened and are negative while “samples from the 11 remaining suspected cases are being processed in our two designated laboratories.”
Those being discharged, he said, will embark on self-quarantine at home.
He urged Kenyans returning from abroad to exercise caution saying they must self-quarantine.
“It is now clear that the threat that we are facing is from Kenyans or foreigners coming or who have visited overseas countries,” the CS said.
Those arriving in the country will henceforth be required to sign a legal form committing to self-quarantine.
“We will forcefully quarantine you for 14 days and later charge you,” he said.
He said Kenyan doctors on Wednesday had a video-conference with Chinese doctors in Wuhan- where the disease has been put to control.
Across the world, the virus has claimed more than 7,500, people with Europe being the new epicenter. Italy remains the worst hit due to high fatalities and positive cases.
