Bar owners in Kisii town have been warned against allowing underage girls into their businesses, since such habit will encourage school girls to sneak from schools at night to engage commercial sex trade at the expense of their education.
The Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry(KNCCI) Kisii County Chairman, Benjamin Onkoba has raised a red flag over increasing number of underage girls patronizing bars and social joints in Kisii town at night.
Onkoba called for revocation of trade licenses for any bar owner found to have allowed underage girls to engage commercial sex trade in their business premises contrary to the provisions of the law.
"The Kisii business community leadership is alarmed at the rate at which underage girls are finding their way to bars and social joints in Kisii town. I am challenging the law enforcement machinery to investigate the trend and ensure appropriate action is taken against any bar owner found flouting the provisions in their trade licenses," stated Onkoba
Onkoba regretted that, under age twilight girls had invaded Kisii town posing a security threat to both town residents and visitors in the town, especially during odd hours of the night.
He noted that, if not checked the new trend of twilight girls in the town may jeopardize the Kisii County Government's 24-hour economy dream, since the twilight girls could turn out to be not only a public nuisance but a security threat at night in the town.
