"It is disturbing that a few of our people have reverted to business as usual. A casual walk down the streets of Nairobi Central Business District reveals that some of our people are not wearing masks, or are wearing them improperly. This is unacceptable," Aman said.
Mobile labs on the Namanga border and Mai Mahiu have been operationalised to serve truck drivers, Aman said.
