Child Trafficking
Related to country: Kenya


More than 20,000 children are trafficked annually in Kenya, a trafficking in persons whistle-blowers' forum disclosed yesterday.

The business had thrived in Kenya partly due to mushrooming of brothels, bars and villas, which allowed revellers to target young children for sexual exploitation and lack of effective legislation to fight the vice.

The German ambassador to Kenya, Mr Walter Lindner, said the vice had branded Kenya one of the hottest sex tourism destinations in the world.

He called for proper legislation that would take care of private villas and house ownership since most hotels had complied with the code of conduct signed last year.

Speaking at the Giriama Beach hotel in Mombasa, when he officially opened a one-day workshop on trafficking of persons at the Coast, Mr Lindner said although his government was committed to ending the practice, there was no enough cooperation from Kenyan authorities.

"Germany passed a law 10 years ago that punishes its citizens committing crimes abroad. It is amazing that Kenya has not cooperated to ensure that those Germans involved in child sex tourism are apprehended," he said.

Mr Lindner said German police and prosecutors just need testimonies so that any German tourist involved in crimes was arrested immediately he landed at Frankfurt airport.
As the youth of Kenya and fighting for the Rights of thr children. Lets team up against this vice and give the children thier rightful positions in the society. All in favor please say I.
