This is good news, for those who had borrowed library books: the Library has been authorized to waive fines for books that were due or about to be due when the University went on lockdown on 03/16/2020. The books should be returned when the lockdown is lifted. Between now and then, no fines for late return will accrue.

The United Nations has put Kenya on its Covid-19 outbreak watch list in what could see Nairobi benefit from the Sh211.8 trillion ($2 trillion) global emergency fund.

Others on the list are Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, Mozambique, Madagascar, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Timor-Leste as well as countries in Central America and the Pacific region.

UN relief chief Mark Lowcock said the list could be expanded to include more poor countries as the deadly virus continues to spread.

Marking its 50th anniversary, University of Nairobi’s school of law has joined the prestigious Global Campus of Human Rights.
