On her part, the former women representative called for other well-wishers to donate to the vulnerable in the society at this trying time.

Further, she urged Kenyans to follow directives set by the government to curb the spread of the virus.

Even as we embark to support our people, it is my plea that every Kenyan follows the government directives to the letter. We cannot afford to lose lives due to our ignorance.

Gatundu South Deputy County Commissioner Stanley Kamande received the food donations and expressed his gratitude to the well-wishers.

He also stated:

We are urging all well-wishers to donate their food items through the provincial administration to avoid overcrowding that could precipitate possible infections.
