Every Kenyan to receive 100K due to the lockdown on corona, reads text on what seems to be a screenshot of a Citizen TV news broadcast , posted on Facebook. In early April 2020 the Kenyan government imposed a ban on movement in and out of four hotspots of Covid-19 infection, to help slow the spread of the coronavirus disease . But will every Kenyan be given KSh100,000 during this lockdown? And did Citizen TV broadcast the news? Screenshot text manipulated In the three-week lockdown, movement from the counties of Nairobi, Mombasa, Kilifi and Kwale is restricted . There is also a nationwide daily curfew from 7:00 pm to 5:00 am. But there has been no announcement of a payout.
