The government has admitted that some of the Kenyans living in China were mistreated amid efforts to contain the Covid-19. Principal Secretary Foreign Affairs Macharia Kamau said it is unfortunate that the incidents happened affecting Kenyans in Guangzhou and Beijing. Kamau said the reality is that it was unfortunate that Kenyans have been discriminated against in the process of Chinese authorities trying to contain the situation to avoid a resurgence of the virus. He said the discrimination targeted foreign nationals but the government has collectively responded to the matter through the African Union. The PS said the government was aware of the recent decision by the Government of China to undertake stringent testing of foreigners and Chinese nationals alike, to forestall imported and asymptomatic cases of the virus in Guangzhou and other areas of China.
