A medical doctor of Somali origin has lost a bid to compel the national government to surrender her identification documents after the High Court found that her birth record listed her foster parent as her biological mother.

Aisha Hassan Moalim has a Kenyan passport and an identification card.

She studied medicine in Mogadishu, Somalia, and obtained a practicing license from Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council. However, the immigration agency confiscated her certificate from the University of Somalia (UNISO), her high school leaving certificate, and her identification documents.
