Panic: Bill Gates Terrorizes Kenyans, Pours In Millions Of ‘Modified Mosquitoes’ As Malaria Cases Shoot Higher!

By Swift Reporter

Kenyans have raised alarm over viral social media claims alleging that genetically modified mosquitoes linked to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have been released into the country, with some users blaming the alleged move for a rise in mosquito bites and malaria fears.

The claims, which have spread rapidly across X (formerly Twitter), suggest that laboratories connected to the foundation released mosquitoes in Nairobi and other parts of the country under the guise of malaria control.

“Our Capital City Nairobi is now flooded with mosquitoes released from your laboratories to eliminate the malaria-carrying ones we’re told. We believe your genetically modified mosquitoes are designed to harm us. They’re now busy biting children and the elderly,” one social media user posted.

Another user questioned the motives behind the alleged release: “Has Bill Gates Labs deliberately released Mosquitoes in Nairobi so that he can later sell us Malaria drugs? Is that what has happened?”

A third post read: “Bill Gates Foundation released mosquitoes from their laboratories in Nairobi to eliminate the ones which were carrying Malaria. The genetically modified mosquitoes which were supposed to eliminate Malaria are now ‘chewing’ children and the elderly unapologetically. These people, I think, are creating problems so that they will benefit from it.”

The viral posts have triggered heated debate, with some Kenyans demanding answers and transparency from authorities over whether any experimental mosquito projects are underway in the country.

However, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has firmly dismissed the allegations.

“The Gates Foundation is aware of social media posts claiming that we release mosquitoes in Kenya. This claim is false,” the foundation said in a statement.

It further clarified that it does not conduct mosquito release activities in Kenya or anywhere else.

“The Gates Foundation does not release mosquitoes, operate laboratories that do so or run vector-control activities in Nairobi or anywhere else,” the statement read.

The organisation emphasised that malaria prevention and control initiatives in Kenya are spearheaded by Kenyan authorities and institutions under national laws and regulatory oversight.

“In Kenya, malaria prevention and control efforts are led by Kenyan authorities and institutions, in accordance with national laws and regulatory oversight,” it said.

According to the foundation, its role in Kenya is limited to supporting locally identified health priorities in collaboration with the government, researchers and public health stakeholders.

“The foundation supports Kenyan-led priorities transparently and responsibly, working alongside governments, researchers and public health partners.”

Malaria remains one of Africa’s deadliest diseases, killing nearly 600,000 people globally each year — most of them African children.

The foundation notes that while existing tools such as bed nets, insecticides and medication have helped reduce cases significantly, they are not enough to eliminate the disease entirely. Emerging challenges like drug resistance, insecticide resistance and climate change threaten to reverse progress.

Among the technologies being researched globally is gene drive — part of a broader category known as genetically based vector control (GBVC). According to information published on the foundation’s website, gene drive works by altering the genes of malaria-carrying mosquito species so they either cannot transmit the parasite or their populations decline over time.

“These changes are designed to pass through future generations of mosquitoes, which gives gene drive the potential for long-term impact,” the foundation states.

It adds that the technology specifically targets malaria-carrying species, leaving other mosquito species untouched, and is being explored by African scientists as part of a wider set of interventions that includes next-generation bed nets, vaccines, spatial repellents, long-acting preventive drugs and improved disease surveillance tools.

The foundation stresses that no single intervention can eradicate malaria and that combining multiple tools is key to breaking the cycle of illness, poverty and death linked to the disease.
