The US government has revealed that there are significant cases of Covid-19 in Tanzania.

This is just a week after it advised its citizens against travelling to the East African country.

“The US Embassy is aware of a significant increase in the number of Covid-19 cases since January 2021,” the Embassy said.

In a Health alert, the US said the practice of Covid-19 mitigation and prevention measures remains limited.

The Tanzanian government has not released aggregate numbers on Covid-19 cases or deaths since April 2020.

“Healthcare facilities in Tanzania can become quickly overwhelmed in a healthcare crisis. Limited hospital capacity throughout Tanzania could result in life-threatening delays for emergency medical care,” US said.

The Department of State’s travel advisory level for Tanzania is Level 3.

The US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention says that travellers should avoid all travel to Tanzania.

The Embassy continues to recommend that all individuals take caution in day-to-day activities.

President John Magufuli assured the 58 million inhabitants that they need not worry about observing Covid-19 preventative measures.

President Uhuru Kenyatta on Wednesday made a surprising stop to lecture Nairobi residents after finishing his engagement at the National Cargo Deconsolidation Centre (NCDC-Nairobi).

The Head of State said he was angry at Nairobians for being against the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Bill stating that the report has given Nairobi more constituencies.

“If we have a BBI that says the people of Nairobi will have more constituencies and if it’s bursaries a child in Mathare who today receives Ksh500, how will that child study up to university level,” President Kenyatta said.

“But there is another child who gets Ksh100,000 in Busury per year is that right?… BBI is not for helping Raila or Uhuru it is for you,” he continued.

Uhuru went on to disclose that he has no plans to rule after his term is over and his interest is in finishing the job that Kenyans elected him to do.

Winning gold is every athletes dream and for Evans Murata the dream came true in the year 2014 when he won three gold medals for Kenya under the Kenya Amateur Weightlifting and Body Building Association (KAWBBA) during the Africa Youth Games.

Despite this huge achievement, Evans Murutu Sokoto has nothing to show despite the sacrifice he made for thr country back in 2014.
Evans who was discovered after he rose to become a youth champion boasts of using outdated and non-standardised home-made gym equipment to get to where he was.
Years later, he is now a bodaboda rider who survives on a daily income of Ksh500.

According to Murutu, the government had promised to reward participants of the 2014 Africa Youth Games with Ksh 1 million for every gold medal but this was never to be.

“I had big dreams and plans to improve my life. That was not to be,” he told journalists.

Murutu claims that when he visited the KAWBBA offices to demand for his money, he was asked to part with Ksh 56,0000 for his cheque to be cleared.

He now appeals to the government to come to his rescue.
