Its joy and celebration by Kenyans on social media as President Uhuru Kenyatta announced with immediate effect the lifting of the nationwide curfew, which has been in place since March last year to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

Kenya’s nationwide curfew has been running from 10 pm-4 am.

Ugandans on social media have also reacted to the news and shared their views with the majority calling out President Museveni to ‘copy’ Uhuru’s move.

#Uganda’s continued curfew has never been properly explained. Is it because the scientists told President @KagutaMuseveni that ‘bars and discos’ would be super spreaders? To limit interactions by people? @lindahNabusayi can you please ask Mzee to help us understand?
