The Kenya Muslim National Advisory Council KEMNAC has issued a 72 hour ultimatum to the government to repatriate all 239 Chinese tourists flown into the country failure to which they will mobilize Kenyans to go to the streets.

The council expressed fears that the move being facilitated by some government ministries to let in the said nationals is likely to expose the country to the deadly Corona virus.

Speaking to the press in Mombasa Friday, KEMNAC Chairperson Sheikh Juma Ngao is accusing the ministries of Defense, Interior, Health, Tourism and Wildlife of claims of exposing Kenyans to the disease.

Ngao also blamed Kenya Airways KQ and the Chinese airlines on similar claims.

“What will happen once the disease which has taken many lives in China spread to Kenyans? If China being a big economy has not been able to eradicate the virus who are we as Kenyans?” he noted.
