The nationwide curfew in Kenya has been lifted. President Uhuru Kenyatta has lifted the dusk-to-dawn curfew which was in effect since last year March and was among the measures imposed to curb the spread of COVID-19.
He made the announcement during today’s 58th Mashujaa Day celebrations at Wang’uru Stadium in Kirinyaga County.
“I hereby order and direct the nationwide dusk-dawn curfew to be vacated with immediate effect,” he said as crowds responded with cheer to the announcement.
He made other announcements but lifting the curfew has made a lot of people happy and here are the best reactions.
So all this time what was needed was one trip to Kirinyaga County.

Curfew has been lifted so you rebuild your tolerance & reprogram your body to all-nighters in preparation for Drinkcember.
