By JOHN PAUL SIMIYU on 19 March 2020 - 5:50 pm


The Chinese government has announced a Ksh8.3 billion investment in a Centre for Disease Control (CDC) set to be established in the country.

A statement released by the Presidential Strategic Communication Unit (PSCU) on Thursday, March 19, announced that the Chinese government had committed to building the structure where the CDC initiative shall be housed.

"As part of its support towards the establishment of the Africa CDC in Kenya, the Chinese government offered to put up a twenty-one story office building at an estimated cost of Ksh8.3 billion.

"Once complete, Africa CDC will provide job opportunities to Kenyans in technical, administrative and support functions," PSCU announced.


"The Africa CDC will position Kenya as a regional and continental hub in medical research and disease control and give the country a head-start in combating disease outbreaks like the current Coronavirus pandemic," PSCU announced.

State House further announced that the Cabinet directed security agencies to crack down on businesses exploiting Kenyans after the Coronavirus outbreak.

"As part of concerted efforts by the government to protect Kenyans from exploitation by wayward traders, the Cabinet directed security and consumer protection agencies to intensify the ongoing crackdown on businesses that are taking advantage of the Coronavirus outbreak to hoard and/or hike commodity prices," the statement read.
