%X This article analyses the political construction in Kenya of the confusion between health prevention and law enforcement during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kenya's security approach to the management of the COVID-19 situation went along with extortion mechanisms - the numerous exceptions to containment indeed made it possible to extract rent.
