The surgica mask has three layers. The coloured outer layer is water and moisture repellent, the middle part is the filter and the inner absorbent layer is meant to absorb spit and sweat from the wearer. It provides up to 95% pretection from viruses.
I don't know what they're making in Kitui or Eldoret but if they're the cloth masks, they will provide only some protection from dust, not bacteria and certainly not viruses. I don't know whether they have bothered to involve experts otherwise the public will end up having false security.
