Abstract: Abstract This chapter assesses Kenya’s COVID-19 policy responses with a view to exploring the dynamics of inequality of these responses. It highlights the pernicious effects of the various COVID-19 responses during the pandemic, particularly on the vulnerable, tracing the same to the structuring of the economy and failure to undertake a socio-economic impact assessment of the responses. The chapter argues that the policy responses, taken together, partially challenged the neoliberal framework, at least in so far that they involved a more active role on the part of the state. The chapter then calls for reassertion and mainstreaming of these responses beyond the post-COVID era.
