Elsewhere, seven roadside food vendors were on Wednesday arrested in Isiolo after they violated a ban on food hawking that had been issued to curb the spread of cholera.

According to the head of public health in Isiolo, Michael Wanjau, the seven were selling eggs, porridge and beans in an unhealthy environment.
