An alarm has been raised over an increased number of twilight girls consuming illicit liquor in Keumbu Nyaribari Chache constituency.
On Friday while speaking in Keumbu, area Nyumba Kumi chairman, Kennedy Onkwanyi lamented that twilight girls dressed skimpily consume liquor and sleep half-naked on the roads.
"Most twilight girls who are living at rental houses in Keumbu Division have ventured fully into liquor consumption, something that has seen several of them sleeping carelessly on the road half-naked in broad daylight under the influence of alcohol," said Onkwanyi.
The chairman said the worst-hit areas include Keumbu, Kegati and Birongo areas.
"I appeal to residents with residential houses to conduct a background check before allowing tenants to rent a house otherwise prostitution will not end anytime soon," he stated.
Kisii County Commissioner Godfrey Kigochi said liquor consumption among twilight girls has been occasioned by some bars operating from as early as 10 am.
"Bars selling liquor before the set time will be closed down and owners arrested. We will not allow young girls who have turned themselves to be twilight girls to continue sleeping half-naked on our roads thus promoting prostitution," said the county security boss.
