He added that with the curfew, Kenyans are focusing more on core activities, especially those that generate income.
"This I believe has helped people avoid unnecessary spending that would have happened at night thus for some families, this means more disposable income," he added.
He said the restriction of night movement has cut social interactions by some 10 hours, effectively curbing the spread of the virus.
However, even as Kenyans largely obey the curfew, a few have been disregarding it by engaging in social activities like drinking in groups at their homes under the cover of darkness.
"There are clustered estates which are giving us problems and estates which are likely to be COVID-19 hot spots. All of them have got one characteristic: recklessness and disobedience to the guidelines that have been given. We are going to turn up the heat," Interior secretary Fred Matiang'i said on Friday.
Kenya has so far recorded 262 COVID-19 infection cases, 12 deaths and 53 recoveries and has ramped up measures to curb its spread.
