Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia has announced that night travels can resume but under strict health protocols. 

In a statement, the CS said the government will continue to encourage Kenyans to comply with the MoH COVID-19 containment measures that are in place while on board.

"We are encouraging members of the transport fraternity to embrace COVID-19 vaccination in line with the sector," he said.

Macharia said this will help the government with its efforts to get its people vaccinated and fast track economic recovery.

"I thank the leadership and the workers in the transport sector for their relentless support to the government efforts of mitigating the spread of the COVID-19 virus," he said.

The announcement comes barely days after President Kenyatta announced the lifting of the nationwide dusk to dawn curfew.

"I hereby order that the nationwide dusk to dawn curfew that has been in effect from March 27, 2020, be and is hereby vacated with immediate effect," Uhuru announced.
