On May 18, 2020, allegations emerged that the Somali ambassador to Kenya was secretly testing residents in Eastleigh for COVID-19 without their consent.
According to reports, the diplomat had been conducting the tests in the Eastleigh neighborhood, which is home to a large Somali community.
The move has sparked outrage among residents, who claim they were not informed about the testing and were not given the option to opt out.
Kenyan authorities have since launched an investigation into the matter, with officials promising to take action if the allegations are found to be true.
