County Governor Granton Samboja says the order will begin officially from Monday next week and aims to reduce the risk of infection by customers of Coronavirus.


The county government says social distancing is not effective in those prescribed businesses. The Governor, however, says the county is looking for ways on making the residents comfortable incase of lockdown.


However, the businessmen have accused the county government of not giving them an alternative. They added that next week they will protest to the county headquarters.
