The government, through the Ministry of Labour, has announced that Kenyans who give birth in foreign countries will be required to undergo mandatory DNA tests upon arrival in the country.
Speaking before the Senate plenary on Wednesday, March 5, Labour Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua stated that the DNA tests would be conducted to curb the rising cases of child trafficking.
According to Mutua, once a Kenyan arrives in the country, a mandatory DNA test will be conducted at the point of entry to confirm the child's biological mother. "We've got several Kenyans in some countries who have given birth.
We are trying to get them back home with their children.
