Kenya's Ministry of Health today announced 773 new cases of Corona infections recorded in the last 24 hours.

This represents 11 percent transmission rate. The new rate is a remarkable drop from a high of 22 percent recorded in mid March that prompted the government to issue tough containment measures across five counties, including the country's Capital Nairobi.

Meanwhile a total of 802,760 people have been vaccinated against the virus comprising members of the police force, healthcare workers, clergy and the elderly.

We are on location at Mount Kenya University's botanic garden for a tree planting exercise to mark the International Earth Day.

The garden is home to a collection of more than 200 medicinal plants. It was established in 2006 when the university acquired a 20 acre piece of land along Nairobi Garisa Road in Thika.

The Chairman of Board of Management and also founder, Mt. Kenya University, Prof Gicharu announced additional funding of Ksh3 million to the college's school of pharmacy to accelerate research in medicinal plants this financial year.

He also announced that the university recently received a Ksh110 million grant to undertake a joint program to enhance conservation at the Brakenhurst Forest.

Mt. Kenya University, the chairman added, recently acquired a Ksh10 million VCR machine for Corona testing to supplement the institution's effort in fighting the pandemic.

The Mt. Kenya University Botanic Garden sits on 20 acre piece of land acquired in 2006 at a cost of Ksh60 million. The facility, according to the founder is currently valued at Ksh4 billion. This consists of the college's graduation square and a host of other demonstration sites for its research activities.
