MO was directed by the HIV and Aids Tribunal on May 7 to pay the money as compensation to GO for disclosing his status. Of the Sh900,000, Sh400,000 is compensation for unlawful disclosure and Sh500,000 is compensation for damage and trauma due to disclosure. MO’s posts to the WhatsApp group have reverberated throughout GO's life. The trouble began on May 14, 2019, when GO engaged in a political discussion on that WhatsApp group. In retaliation, MO is said to have posted a comment in the native Dholuo language on the WhatsApp group, alleging GO was HIV-positive.
