The government will tighten protocols which are aimed to contain the spread of coronavirus in the public transport sector.
Transport and Infrastructure Cabinet Secretary James Macharia has said due to wave three of covid-19, stringent measures will be taken to save those traveling from getting the virus.
He observed that since the end of last year, the government has been relaxing the measures especially in air and railway transport saying this time they will ensure public transport players strictly adhere to stipulated protocols.
Macharia spoke in Murang’a when he met MCA’s led by the county governor Mwangi wa Iria to deliberate matters to do with development and the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
On his part, Governor Wa Iria said the county government will be forced to come up with laws that will ensure locals adhere to the measures aimed to control the spread of covid-19.
Wa Iria observed that many locals have abandoned observing the health protocols noting that they will introduce fines among other forms of penalties to force residents to adhere to the government’s regulations on coronavirus.
