Kenyans are an unhappy lot after the First Lady “exposed” the faces of children who are seronegative, born of HIV mothers.

On June 13, the First Lady hosted the Beyond Zero Summit where she launched “The Elimination of Mother-to-Child Transmission Framework for HIV and Syphilis 2016-2021”.

NTV’s Larry Madowo sparked off the debate by tweeting on the event were the HIV mothers were seen at the Safaricom Indoor Arena at Kasarani.
