Prostitution in Nakuru is no longer a hidden or underground factor, but a daily business is done in broad daylight, in the full glare of whoever cares to look or stare.
The situation seems to get out of hand now more than ever, as unlike in the past when the hookers line themselves along the corridors and alleys, they are becoming more courageous.
It is now done along verandas next to busy rods and avenues, this demonstrating a business that is on the increase and which might be very hard to tame in the future.
And without any shame, it is slowly losing the willing seller-willing buyer aspect of the business and is taking the coercion and forceful characteristic.
Consequently, the hawkers, usually in skimpy dressing, will hiss at the men passing by, to an extent that all attention is drawn to that specific person, which might be embarrassing.
Be it in town on all the other places, including the infamous Kanu Street, it becomes rather hard for men to use the routes in the company of their wives as they (prostitutes), at times, use words that can portray you as a regular customer.
So dire is the situation that some areas and routes are now almost entirely associated with them, to an extent that it becomes hard saying you are going to that specific place.
Telling a friend you are going to Kanu Street at night will automatically lead them into assuming that you are going to seek prostitution services as they have taken over the route.
It taints the image for Nakuru as a town, bringing out a portrait of a town, almost a city, which cannot hide its dirty linen, in terms of joblessness and lack of morality.
