MP Mohammed Ali Accuses US Fast-Food Chain KFC of Selling Bad Food to Kenyans

Nyali Member of Parliament Mohammed Ali has accused American fast-food restaurant, KFC of selling bad food to its Kenyan customers.

Through a Facebook post, Ali claimed that his daughter fell ill after eating food from KFC outlet at Shell Petrol Station in Nairobi’s Hurlingham area. 

 “There is something wrong with KFC food especially in Hurlingham, Shell petrol station. Kindly stop selling bad food to your clients. My daughter is going through hell because of you,” Mohammed Ali wrote.

Ali, a former investigative journalist, did not give further details on what his daughter was ailing from or what type of food she took from the said restaurant. 

Contacted for comment on MP Ali’s allegations, KFC said the claims are untrue. “It is not true,” said a worker who answered a call from a local news outlet.

Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) is a US fast-food restaurant chain headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky and mainly specializes in fried chicken. KFC is the world’s second-largest restaurant chain after McDonald’s, with over 22,000 locations globally in 136 countries.

KFC operates several outlets in Nairobi and other major towns like Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Eldoret.

Why Kenyans eat this junk stuff is beyond me with plethora of good quality sukumas, carots, potatoes, and all the organic stuff and then you complain about cancer etc. I never touch this junk here in the US. If I didn't cook it,I do not know what's in it !

The poor people in Kenya getting cancer can’t afford a meal at KFC, they eat what you’re calling organic food: sukuma, carrot, managu, sweet potatoes but they still get sick. No one seems to know the real source of cancer, it’s still a mystery; eat what you can afford, at least to live and end all these speculations.

It is irresponsible for leaders to make unsubstantiated sweeping statements like the claim made here.If Mohammed has proof of bad food,let him take it to the bureau of standards,or what ever entity that makes sure the public is served "good'Food. This is the first time I have heard acomplaint on KFC in Kenya.How sure is Mohammed that his daughter's sickness originated from KFC?Yes its possible,but KFC is denying so the burden of proof is on Mohammed.How old is his daughter anyways.Probably got menstrual cramps ...

@komen - hue be nice! We have a Princess with an upset belly here!

Mpatie ile dawa ya “ENO” aharishe! Au tengeneza soup ya Kuku, give to the child, apate cologen ya tumbo! Si grandma alituputia soup ya chicken tumbo ikiuma tukapona - Muhammad - old tricks still work miracles!

Hii ni siasa mbaya - Kama Mbaya, Mbaya!

And you know Kenya politicians are all “morons”. Kenya politics coverts “saints” into “morons”!

Politics makes formerly known “Angels” turn into self indulging “Princes” of darkness! It coverts them into the most greedy and corrupt people.

Even DP Ruto used to be the “treasurer” of the Christian Union” at some University - a Zachias - the tax collector - who has not yet found a nearby tree to call upOn Jesus for a new salvation! Si Wao wanakula 3,000,000 eggs a day? Even too much vitamins will kill you!

Ali’s case is just the beginning of a ‘rotten” tall order. Si muheshiwa wants food made of gold na fedha on his “golden plate”! Jameni, Kenya kuna shinda!!

@ali - thank you for letting the whole world you can afford nyama ya Kuku huko Hurlingham - where the big fish go hide out! Did your daughter wash her hands before feasting?

If you can take the same food to Kibra, the poor kids there will eat it and there will be no diarrhea to report

Personally, I ate Kentucky Friend Chicken Jana and Si jaharisha bando..

Stop bragging Sir!!

@Mc hammer, sad to hear that you think KFC is the best restaurant in Kenya. You judgement is beyond redemption. Stop bringing religion in such kind of nonsense ati Muslim owned & christian owned. That is total nonsense. If the food is contaminated it is contaminated & bad for human consumption.

Ali mohamed should grow up.thats unacceptable and kfc should seek legal redress for defamation and loss of bussiness.the chap has been paid by by islam owned restourants to soil the name of kfc becouse its christian owned.you have sunk too low ali and so is your doughter

I also ate chicken from KFC Karen at the Hub twice and got sick. Most of the food outlets and supermarkets are now from outside Kenya and selling items from their country with only 1/4 from Kenya

this organic talk is baseless. kale is planted in shit water. kenyans are very proud people, even when they have the worst they lie to themselves just like with their useless education system as well as universities that graduate people who cannot even build foot bridges as engineers and then bring in Chinese rejects to fill in. KFC is just fine, you have to eat and show moderation. wacheni ujinga.
