  • Kenya has responded to the decision by the United Kingdom to “Red List†Kenya as part of measures to contain the spread of Covid-19.

    Kenya further retaliated by enforcing measures on travelers coming from the UK.

    “All passengers originating from or transiting through UK airports will now be required to go through mandatory 14-day isolation at a government-designated facility at their own cost upon entry into Kenya,” stated the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    Through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the government stated that the decision by the United Kingdom would have consequences on Kenya-UK trade, travel, tourism and security co-operation.

    It further stated that the decision was particularly disturbing based on the fact that the UK and Kenya enjoy a strong and long-lasting relationship that benefit various sectors such as health, education, security, travel, trade, and people to people relations.

    According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, UK’s decision was discriminatory as the claims did not reflect logic and scientific knowledge of the disease or the spread of the pandemic.

    They further stated that Kenya had been consistent in maintaining a positive attitude towards the United Kingdom despite the challenges and disruptions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

    Kenya had also remained in constant contact with the Government of the United Kingdom throughout the pandemic in order to maximize opportunity for cooperation.
