By A Correspondent- At least thirty two people have mysteriously disappeared from a quarantine facility in Kenya’s Elwak area, Mandera County, the county government has revealed.

They were part of the 66 who were put on mandatory quarantine after two travellers tested positive for Covid-19 last week.

In a letter to the Deputy County Commissioner, an executive committee member, Ahmed Sheikh Mohamed cited a lack of seriousness by police officers in providing foolproof security to the quarantine centre as a possible motivation for escapees.

“It appears a few elements within the security system are yet to understand the seriousness of this campaign against coronavirus, he said.

The Deputy County Commissioner has been asked, as the chairman of the Sub County Security Coordination, to explain how negligence by the officers may have contributed to the development. – The Star
