A section of counties in the Mt Kenya region has introduced measures to cushion businesses hard hit by the restriction of movement and lockdown of five counties due to the third wave of Covid-19.
The measures which range from waivers on license fees, penalties, and incentives for small businesses are expected to ease the already struggling businesses.
In Nyeri County, Governor Mutahi Kahiga approved a 50 per cent waiver on the matatus monthly fees until when the movement restrictions issued by President Uhuru Kenyatta are lifted.
