The President issued a directive on 23 February 2015 to County Commissioners, to work with County Directors of Education and Medical Services, to collect up-to-date data and prepare a report on:
- All school going children who are HIV positive and information on their guardians;
- Number of expectant mothers who are HIV positive: and
- Number of breastfeeding mothers who are HIV positive.
The data was to be collected in a prescribed matrix that would directly link the above mentioned persons with their HIV status, thus putting them at a risk of being stigmatized and discriminated against. The children would be linked to their home area and school. The advocates of the petitioners will seek for a new mention date at the court registry.
