There has been a debate about prostitution in Mombasa, with the varied opinions reflecting the society we live in.
What amazes me most is the support that many are giving those who engage in this rot.
Worse enough, they have refused the proposed rehabilitation with alternativ`e sources of income. They should never be begged to vacate our streets.
To start with, Mombasa is a religious center. Islam as well as Christianity have been practiced for decades.
There are also traditionalists who equally condemn prostitution like Islam and Christianity.
The dress code that is accepted by the Islamic teachings does not offer any fertile grounds for prostitution.
The Biblical quotations also teach against commercial sex work.
Secondly, prostitution is illegal in Kenya and Mombasa is part of Kenya. We should only beg those who do legal businesses in our blessed County.
Despite the constitutional right of association and income generation, they must take the offer by the county government or be smoked out of Mombasa.
It is our responsibility to guard the family institution at all costs. If we fail to act accordingly, then the endless family problems we have will be a permanent menace.
Men lose money and contract HIV/Aids on the streets thus punishing innocent mothers.
Furthermore, women decide to engage in prostitution to earn a living or quench their appetite. Boys and girls also take part in this game that is reserved for adults traditionally and in modern religions.
