Unlock Our Country- Kenyans tell President Uhuru as Lockdown effects continue to bite hard

Stakeholders in the Entertainment, Tourism, Education and Hospitality industry in Kenya are calling upon President Uhuru Kenyatta to lift the recently imposed partial lockdown under the hashtag #UnlockOurCountry.

Many who have voiced the grievances argued that the recently imposed lockdown and closure of entertainment joints, plus restriction of movements has rendered many people jobless with no avenues to put food on their table.

Kenyans On Twitter (KOT) who also joined the conversation #UnlockOurCountry, pointed out that, the Head of State put in places restrictions without giving the common Mwananchi alternatives on how to make ends meet. Others noted that business people are suffering because they were forced to close down at a time they were trying to bounce back.
