Raila took a voluntary test noting that the Covid-19 certificate is increasingly becoming a necessary document as the country continues to battle the pandemic.

There has been a growing disquiet from the public who expressed concerns over the many meetings Raila has been having with various political leaders.

Since last Monday, June 8, Raila has met Laikipia North MP Sarah Korere, Dr Jafar Barmaki, the ambassador of Iran and Laikipia County Woman Representative Catherine Waruguru.

Kenyans also bashed COTU Secretary-General Francis Atwoli for hosting the ruling outfit’s vice-chairperson David Murathe and former PM Odinga on Monday, April 13 as they breached the cessation of movement order.
