A new study has showed that hundreds of food handlers who failed to secure medical certificates because they had drug-resistant germs found jobs in some high-end city hotels and roadside stalls.

The study involving food handlers seeking medical certificates at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri) found that up to a third of the applicants carried highly drug-resistant germs.
