Nakuru Town East MP David Gikaria now wants the Nakuru County Askaris to not only be arresting the Commercial Sex Workers who throng the Nakuru Town streets, but to also arrest men they are found with.
Gikaria has said that the women do not carry out prostitution alone but with men.
"There is nothing like arresting a woman on allegations that she was found engaging in prostitution act, yet the man she was with is not arrested. That is very unfair. Women cannot engage in prostitution without the presence of men,” said Gikaria.
The MP asserts that the so called prostitutes are not in the business on their own volition but out of poverty and therefore the county laws should not discriminate against them and at the same time favouring men who commit the very crimes the women are being arrested for.
"They have been arresting women in social joints accusing them of being prostitutes. My question is that; where are the men who also encourage such activities? Those men should also be arrested,” said Gikaria.
The MP has also called for abolition of some laws which he says are of colonial era and have no place in present day in Kenya.
"When you accuse somebody of loitering, what do you exactly mean?,” asked Gikaria adding that he is preparing a bill on the same to take to parliament for for debate. Gikaria was speaking in Nakuru on Sunday.
