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.

Meru Governor Kiraitu Murungi has urged cooperatives to venture into value addition of perishable commodities to increase farmers’ income.
Speaking at the launch of the county’s co-operative societies forum, Kiraitu (above) said they were targeting macadamia, potatoes, milk, avocado, bananas, miraa, tea and coffee.
He said they are looking at providing an enabling environment in which savings and credit cooperatives could mobilise capital and venture into investment opportunities.
The governor further said his government wanted cooperatives to be led by visionary and an all-inclusive governance system for them to effectively serve farmers.
