Leave the Sex workers alone namufilwa fye ukubomba. Why are you arresting them as if you have found them another Job. Job creation is now in negatives but you are still boasting of Job creation.

Prostitution: Legal
Prostitution has been legal since 1969. Must be at least 21 years of age, register with the police, carry a valid sanitary card, and test negative for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Free condoms are provided beginning at the first visit to the clinic and are renewed monthly.

Brothel Ownership: Illegal

Pimping: Illegal
Soliciting or living off the earnings of prostitution is prohibited.
“Prostitution was legalized in this predominantly Muslim country in 1969, and today the government tolerates it as long as each prostitute registers with the state, is over 21 years old, and comes regularly to a center run by the Ministry of Health for checkups, education, and medical treatment. And that’s a big reason why this West African nation of 10.5 million, according to the World Health Organization, has an HIV infection rate of about two percent while many of its nearest neighbors face rates several times higher; some Southern African countries, such as Botswana, report that a mind-boggling 39 percent or more of the adult population is infected.”

“One third of the famous ‘window’ brothels and sex clubs of Amsterdam are facing closure after the city council recently refused to renew 33 licences in a crackdown against organised crime….

The Christian Democrat CDA and the ChristenUnie (CU) parties – both of which are expected to form part of the new governing coalition – want even tougher measures, including the prosecution of men who frequent prostitutes who are working against their will….

But others, such as Petra Timmermans from the International Committee on the rights of Sex Workers in Europe, said the Dutch were experiencing outside pressure from countries that did not understand their traditions. ‘The Netherlands has decided to do things differently so it is under tremendous pressure from neighbouring countries to re-evaluate its position,’ she said. ‘People look at the Netherlands and say it is a failed experiment because not every sex worker is a millionairess.’”

“Whether one likes it or not, prostitution is a “profession” that will not die away; it is here to stay. And with it comes the challenges which hardly allow easy solutions. The trade in Kenya, which is classified under the Penal Code, Sections 147 to 154, is illegal in Kenya and calls for stiff penalty. But even though the law is clear on commercial sex work, regardless of gender and affiliation, the general belief is that it is mostly the women who engage in it and who are arrested by police when caught.”
