A tweet posted by Weston Hotel a month ago has raised more questions over a decision by the Ministry of Health not to close the establishment after being linked to Cholera cases.
On the 21st of June, Weston Hotel, in one of its tweets boasted of having more than 500 guests at the time while at the same time praising the staff, including the in-house chef, for a job well done.

On Wednesday Health Cabinet Secretary, Cleopa Mailu announced the closure of two city hotels – Jacaranda and San Valencia – after an inspection was done at their premises revealed there was cholera viruses.
