Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) were on Wednesday dismayed by Health Cabinet Secretary Cleopa Mailu after he announced the closure of two Nairobi hotel over the cholera outbreak.

Mr Mailu stated that Jacaranda and San Valencia hotel will remain closed indefinitely after offering catering services at events attended by participants who were later hospitalised after developing cholera-related symptoms.

He mentioned the establishments will not be allowed to operate until their staff are certified to be free of cholera.

The CS' directives were not taken kindly by KOT who questioned why the two hotels had been closed yet Weston Hotel, which is linked to Deputy President William Ruto, had not been given the same orders.

In June several doctors attending a science conference at Weston hotel were hospitalised with cholera-like symptoms.
