The High Court on Thursday declined to declare the 7pm to 5am coronavirus curfew illegal following a suit by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK).
The LSK moved to court to challenge the order by President Uhuru Kenyatta as well as unreasonable use of force by police implementing it.
The society also sought orders compelling the government to come up with proper guidelines for the curfew, quarantine and containment of the virus.
GUIDELINES
In his ruling, Justice Weldon Korir said he was not convinced that there was a need to issue special guidelines for the curfew order.
“The challenge appears to be the implementation of the law already in place. Directing that other regulations be formulated and issued on top of what is already in place will not solve the underlying problem,” he said.
