On behalf of MultiChoice, Kenya’s Managing Director, Nancy Matimu appreciated the medical fraternity, private sector and the general public for their collective efforts towards the fight against COVID-19.
“At MultiChoice Kenya, we recognize that co-operation and solidarity is important from each one of us at individual and collective levels alike. We therefore come here today, to commit our solemn support towards the COVID-19 pandemic fight in Kenya,” said Matimu.
“We are grateful for the opportunity to make yet another contribution and support the efforts of the government, the private sector, donor agencies and other players.”
CS Kagwe also noted that the rise in the number of confirmed cases and deaths in the country requires more strategic and long-term support from partners.
“This ultimately includes support even to the health workers, some of who have contracted the disease in the course of their life-saving work,” he said.
MultiChoice Kenya assured the government of its continued commitment to uphold the highest health and safety standards in safeguarding its employees, trade partners and customers.
