The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) has finally responded to a video where a man alleged to be one of their employees was captured hurling insults at Kenyan citizens. The UNICEF Regional Director for Eastern and Southern Africa, Mohamed Fall, said they launched investigations to determine what took place in the Saturday incident.

"UNICEF has launched an investigation into events from Saturday in Nairobi that have been shown on social media. We have been in Kenya for many years, and both our country and regional offices are warmly hosted by the Government of Kenya. Throughout that time, we have all enjoyed the warmth and friendship of the Kenyan people, for which we are most grateful. At all times we expect impeccable behaviour from our staff, as they go about their critical and life-saving work for children throughout the region," said Mohamed Fall.
