Article-Summary: 

Reports indicate that the Kenyan Government has reduced the cost of anti-retroviral drugs. A Cabinet meeting chaired by President Kibaki has approved the move to lower the cost of ARVs from KSh500 to KSh100 (just over a dollar) a month. By the end of last year about 60,000 Kenyans, out of a target of 95,000, had been put on free ARVs treatment in public hospitals, but the Cabinet said there were plans to increase the number.
