It is a Crap! Bitter Ezekiel Mutua Launches an Attack Against Lock Down Advocates

by Brian Kiprono

Kenya Films and Classification Board (KFCB) CEO Dr Ezekiel Mutua has strongly opposed a lock down in Kenya as a measure of containing COVID-19.

The moral cop through his official twitter account on Monday termed the lock down as a bad idea.

Mutua who demanded to know the people pushing for the lock down noted that majority of Kenyans live from hand to mouth, and a lock down would be a bad idea for them and their relatives.

He cited that the government should only come up with the lock down as a solution after coming up with a plan to feed Kenyans who will be affected.

“Who is pushing this lockdown crap and why? Salaried people sitting in the comfort of their homes can pontificate to others about lockdown. Those who live from hand to mouth or have relatives and friends who do, a lockdown is a bad idea, unless there’s a plan to feed the people!” he posted.

However, while appearing in a video interview at K24 TV in a show dubbed punchline on Sunday night, government spokesperson Cyrus Oguna said Kenya has not yet reached to point of locking down.

Oguna said that the country is not yet ready to declare a lockdown since the cases have only been reported in seven counties, with most of them concentrated in one county.

“The first factor would be the eruption of infections sustained in many counties and the health systems are overwhelmed. Right now we are talking about 7 counties,’ he said.

Oguna was clear that locking down the nation is not a one man decision, citing that all government agencies have to put their heads together before coming up with such a decision.

Instead, he said that they were urging people to obey the directives issued by the government to ensure that the number of confirmed cases remain the way they are.
