Poverty forces Kenyans to rent out spouses, children to tourists
Husbands love-vendor out their wives, fathers love-vendor out their daughters, poor families rent litle children
In Summary
•The Kenyan Coast is sitting on a time bomb, with tourists visiting the destination ostensibly to have sex with children.
•But child prostitution is not only prevalent but also socially accepted in towns and villages along the Coast. Authorities and charities are struggling to alt the illicit trade.
"Why should I make another woman rich yet my wife is jobless?"James Kimani, a tour guide at Kilifi, asked after a tourist asked him to hook him up with a woman for a weekend.
Kimani said the tourist was rich. He had seen him sponsor all his five friends on various excursions.
He wanted a lady to keep him company during his holiday in Kenya.
"After giving it a thought I said, 'Yes I have a nice, bubbly woman. She is dark-skinned, well endowed and naughty. She is my younger sister, very single and well behaved. I can bring her tomorrow," Kamau said.
Kamau was describing his wife. They have been married for 10 years.
On the evening of August 2018, he went home and made the proposal to the wife.
"Honey, the man is German. I will take you tomorrow to him. All I need you to do is act like my sister avoid raising any suspicion and satisfy him fully. Once he pays you, we will need that money to pay school fees for our two children," he said.
The woman accepted and ever since she has been in business. Her husband hooks her up with rich visitors.
She takes home Sh40,000 monthly from the trade.
"We still love each other, we are still married and she supports this family. She is the breadwinner," Kamau said.
Kamau hooked her up recently with an Austrian man and she has been away from home for two weeks.
"All's well. I trust she will come back. The longer she stays the more money she brings home. Meanwhile, am taking care of the children as she hustles," he said.
Kilifi county police boss Patrick Okeri said such cases are common.
He receives cases of women with two husbands, a Kenyan and a European. The women travel abroad to see their European husbands who happen to be their sponsors.
When they come back to Kenya they settle with their local husband.
"Recently there was a case of a woman with two husbands, a foreigner and a Kenyan. She shares her house with the foreign husband when he comes to Kenya and when he leaves the country her Kenyan husband comes back home, " Okeri said.

Sex tourists prey on minors pimped by own parents in Mtwapa

Offering everything from big game safaris to sandy white beaches, Kenya attracts more than two million visitors annually from the US, Italy, Germany, China, Austria, France and Britain.
In 2018, tourist arrivals increased by 37.33 per cent from the previous year to cross the two million mark for the first time, posting significant growth in earnings to Sh157 billion.
The latest statistics show there were 2,025,206 tourists arriving compared with 1,474,671 international arrivals in 2017. The gains of the sector were a result of coordinated efforts between various arms of government,Tourism CS Najib Balala said while releasing the data at State House, Mombasa.
Tourism is a vital economic pillar providing millions with employment and accounting for about 10 per cent of the country's gross domestic product.
But in cities and towns such as Mombasa, Watamu, Diani, Kilifi and Malindi dotted along the coastline, foreign visitors have for years stoked the demand for sex with local young women — and minors.
The Star interviewed police, child protection officers, three victims of the sex tourism trade and human rights activists.
MINORS
Paul Adhuoch, who heads child rights organization Trace Kenya, said 13,000 minors engage in sex tourism in the coastal counties annually.
"The lowest age of girls 11 years while for boys it's 13 years. About 60 per cent of the victims are girls."
Adhuoch said prostitution has led to an increase in unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
The latest records highlighted Kilifi as the county with the second-highest percentage of pregnant minors. Other coastal towns have a high prevalence of HIV.
"This shows the gravity of child sex tourism," Adhouch said.
He said Ukunda, Malindi, Watamu, Mtwapa and Kilifi are hotspots for sex tourism but the trade extends throughout the Coast, including Diani.
The main causes of sex tourism are the tourist themselves and poverty.
"Tourists are the main drivers — Many of whom are drawn to the Coast by the area's reputation for sex tourism. Poverty is also a major contributor," Adhuoch said.

HIDDEN SEX TRADE
Muslims for Human Rights rapid response officer Francis Auma said rich foreigners own apartments at the Coast, managed by residents.
"In those apartments owned by Europeans a lot happens that goes unnoticed. This is where children are molested but the government does not make efforts to monitor these homes," Auma said.
Auma said in some cases minors are molested and sold.
"At Mtwapa children are sold off to tourists in the evening. The cases are swept under the carpet for the foreigners are rich and can corrupt the system," Auma said.
He said Auma said the Tourist police have done little to fight the vice. They give tourists a pass despite having evidence against them.
Mtwapa police boss Joseph Muriuki said though the cases are many, few are reported. He said people, especially victims, fear coming out for fear of being victimised by their families, who sometimes depend on them.
“We cannot tell if someone is undergoing such torturous acts unless they come out and speak, then the security will act on the information,“ he said.

CHILD VICTIMS
Seventeen-year-old Ann Kanini does not mince words when asked why she tours eaches in Malindi, Watamu, Kilifi and Mtwapa.
"To look for Mzungu's( Europeans) for transactional sex," she replied giggling over a tot of tequila. "It’s very simple to lure a white man, approach them with compliments designed to break the ice."
"The money will begin to flow,” she said, referring to payments once a temporary relationship has begun. “Most village girls do it. I can get Sh3,000 to Sh5,000 a day. Sometimes a tourist will give Sh10,000. ”
Kanini said it is important to learn foreign languages especially Italian and German to prosper in the lucrative business.
"First, know the language he speaks. Second, tell him he is the most handsome man you have ever seen. For the first time in years, he truly believes he is desirable.”
Kanini was in Form 2 in 2017 when her father asked her to drop out in school and help him hustle.
"My father was struggling with paying my school fees so when he said he will show me ways to hustle for money,.I was overjoyed, I saw it as a shortcut to success," she recounts.
After she quit school, her father (a beach boy) got her a job as a curio seller at Watamu beach.
"I was so happy my job entailed approaching tourists along the beach, convincing them to buy cowrie shells and necklaces. I earned between Sh200 and Sh1,000," she said.
Her father, however, planned to introduce her to the sex trade. On a Sunday afternoon, as Kanini sold her cowrie shells to tourists at the beach, her father walked up to her.
"That Italian man with blue shorts loves you. You have captured his attention," her father said.
"Oh, thank you," she said, not understanding his meaning.
Her father drew her aside and told her he intended to introduce her to a lucrative business that would earn her Sh5,000 a day.
"The business was sex and the deal was I would be assisting in paying water and electricity bills for our house. Then the rest of the money was mine. I trust my father so I gave in to the idea," she said.
My father told me not to tell anyone he hooks me up with that he is my father.
"He said I refer to him as my good friend. I panicked and was very disgusted when I had sex with the Italian at a cottage. He was the age of my grandfather and couldn't stop coughing and sneezing," she said.
The Italian, however, paid her the Sh10,000, more money than she had ever seen.
"I had never touched such an amount before. The business was surely lucrative. I abandoned selling of curios to concentrate on selling sex," she said.
In a good month, she receives a client every day.
Most of the tourists in Malindi , she said, come from Italy and their clients are mostly Italian men between the age of 50 and 80, she said.
"My father taught me Italian so it was easy to communicate with the clients he hooked me up with," she said.
Kanini learnt German as well and two years later she does not need her father to hook her up anymore.
"I can speak foreign languages, I am courageous and approach them for sex," she said.
She said the business has led her to build a home for a family in a very short time.
"I can't stop selling sex to tourists. I am the breadwinner in our family," she said.
PIMPS
Local men and women who are well connected are used to visiting poor villages and recruiting minors.
"They approach parents and promise them money in exchange of their children," a source said.
Most parents readily accept the deal and force their children to have sex with clients in order to earn their school fees.
The cartels take the minors to apartments where they hook them up with the tourists.
The money is sometimes shared among cartels and their parents, the children get nothing.

Child sex for a dollar on Kenya's palm-fringed beaches

Sixteen-year-old Fatma doesn't bat an eyelid when asked what she has been doing since dropping out of school two years ago.
"Sex," she replied, giggling into the layers of her bright red headscarf. "It's easy to get men. I find them at the market, concerts, weddings and on the beach."
"Most girls in my village do it . I can get Sh100 ($1) to Sh500. Sometimes a tourist will give Sh1,000 ($10)."
Welcome to
Kenya's idyllic palm-fringed beach resort of Diani: where the sands are pearl white, the waters clear turquoise - and you can have sex with a child for a dollar.
From Thailand and the Philippines to the Dominican Republic and Brazil, sex tourism is common in developing countries where poverty and discrimination push millions of women into commercial sexual exploitation.
Kenya
is no different.
But the extent to which child prostitution is not only prevalent, but also socially accepted, in towns and villages along the East African nation's coast has left local authorities and charities struggling to halt the illicit trade.
According to the latest data available, one in three girls aged between 12 and 18 in
Kenya's coastal area is engaged in casual sex work, a 2006 report by the UN children's agency Unicef and the
Kenyan government states.
That is an estimated 15,000 girls.
While these figures date back over a decade, little has improved, say campaigners and government officials. A lack of development, few job opportunities and weak law enforcement has, in fact, allowed the trade to thrive.
"It's getting worse. In about 90 percent of families in a village, you will find at least one girl who is a victim of commercial sexual exploitation," said Athuman Jiti, a public administrator in Kwale county, where Diani is located.
"Sometimes it's the parents telling them to go out and bring home food, sometimes the girls do it on their own - the problem is, it's highly normalised."
FERTILE GROUND
Offering everything from big game safaris to sandy white beaches,
Kenya
attracts more than a million visitors annually from countries such as China, Germany, France and Britain.
Tourism is a vital economic pillar, providing millions with employment and accounting for about 10 percent of the country's gross domestic product.
But in cities and towns such as Mombasa, Diani, Kilifi and Malindi dotted along the Indian Ocean coastline, foreign and
Kenyan visitors have for years stoked demand for sex with young women - and minors.
Kwale county - where almost half the population lives on less than $1.50 a day - is fertile ground for exploitation.
Deep-rooted sexism ensures deep-seated and daily discrimination, while engrained customs from polygamy to early marriage leave girls and women disproportionately vulnerable.
Some children are trafficked from other areas of
Kenya
expressly for sexual slavery, but most victims are locals who are pushed into the trade more subtly, say campaigners.
"Often friends or family members are involved in it and they initiate them into it, or they are approached by a man who gives them attention and a few hundred shillings after sex," said Dorcas Namwaya Mwachi from the Coalition on Violence Against Women, a charity working in communities around Diani.
"Their families are poor and cannot afford to look after them, so the girls continue to do it to get money to contribute to the home, or buy themselves small things like a new dress, or even sanitary pads, which they cannot otherwise afford."
Many girls know the risks - pregnancy, violence, disease - but without other options, continue to sell sex, Mwachi added.

COMMUNITY COMPLICITY
Even on a weekday evening in off-peak season, the scene at one of the popular tourist nightclubs on the Diani Beach Road is as cliched as it is true.
On the dance floor, adolescent girls gyrate to the rhythmic beat of Congolese rumba as two elderly European men in tropical shirts and Bermuda shorts watch on. Within an hour, the men leave with the two girls - both look barely 16.
No one raises an eyebrow - not the waiter who collects their bill, nor the bouncers who open the door as they leave, nor the taxi driver waiting outside.
Tour operators say it is difficult to crack down as the girls often lie about their age and carry no identification.
"The tourism sector has taken some steps to stop child sex tourism, but they tend to find a way around it," said Francis Mkala from the South Coast Association of Local Tour Operators.
"The hotels, for example, have a code of conduct banning guests from taking minors to their rooms. But the tourists are now renting out private villas, where they take the children and carry out their business undisturbed."
The child sex trade has become so widely accepted that girls no longer just have sex with tourists for money, but also with local men for anything from a ride home to a pair of shoes, or even a bag of sugar, say campaigners and officials.
Edward Wanjala, a probation officer in Kwale's Msambweni constituency where Diani is located, says prosecutions are few due to complicity within the community.
"Everyone is benefiting in some way - the families get some money from the girls, the bars and nightclubs get customers because of the girls, the taxi drivers get something for taking the customers to the girls," said Wanjala.
"The social acceptance means people don't even see it as a crime, and the girls being exploited do not see themselves as victims. So who will report the case? Who will testify?"
Raising awareness about the harmful impact of child prostitution is not enough, he admitted, adding that vocational training and jobs were needed to curb trade.
Eighteen-year-old Saumu, who began selling sex at 15, holds out little hope of a better future: she has a 3-year-old son from one client, and is eight months pregnant by another.

Kenya has sixth highest number of poor people
• Dominic Omondi
• 12th Oct 2019 01:00:00 GMT +0300
17.6 million Kenyans live below two dollars a day, as per new World Bank report Kenya has the sixth-highest number of poor people in the World, a new report by the World Bank shows.
With 17.6 million Kenyans living below two dollars a day, Kenya sits behind India, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Madagascar in the number of people in extreme poverty, according to the report, Poverty and Shared Prosperity, 2018.
Kenya’s official data, however, shows that about 16.4 million were living below the poverty line in 2015/16 period, meaning these individuals could not afford a decent meal.
However, the share of poor as a fraction of the total population, poverty rate, is better with only four out of 10 Kenyans living in poverty.

President Uhuru Kenyatta has come up with an ambitious initiative, the Big Four Agenda, aimed at improving the living conditions of ordinary Kenyans by ensuring they can access critical healthcare services, have enough food, have a roof over their head and have jobs.
The report noted that Kenya was one of the countries with the highest number of poor which has managed to move up the rungs to become a middle-income country, though this exercise never translated into a dent in the poverty rate.
Cash transfer


“Over time, many of the countries with high poverty numbers, including Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Kenya, and Nigeria, have grown their economies out of low-income-country status and are now middle- income countries,” read part of the report.
In 2015, Kenya rebased its economy by including new sectors into the computation of the national output, gross domestic product (GDP).
SEE ALSO :President Uhuru: UHC is vital in ending poverty
As part of its plans to dent poverty, the government has a number of cash transfer programmes to the vulnerable groups including the elderly, persons with disabilities, street children and orphans.
There are also plans to extend these transfers to individuals in abject poverty, according to new regulations.
National Treasury came up with regulations creating a Sh2 billion Social Assistance Fund for the provision of social assistance for poor and vulnerable persons.
Official data shows that as of 2016, 8.6 per cent of Kenyans (3.9 million people), representing 682,000 households, were extremely poor.
The World Bank report ranks India as having the highest number of poor people in the World, 175.7 million, which translates into a poverty rate of 13.4 per cent.

Nearly a quarter of global poverty is in Africa. “Half of the people living in extreme poverty in 2015 can be found in just five countries,” read part of the World Bank report. These countries are Bangladesh, India, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia and Nigeria.
Madagascar, with a poverty rate of 77.3 per cent, is perhaps the poorest country in the world. It is followed by South Sudan with a poverty rate of 73 per cent.
Extreme poverty
After the much-touted rebuilding efforts after the 1994 genocide, Rwanda still has one of the highest poverty rates with slightly over half of Rwandese living below the poverty line.
Nearly half of Nigerians live in abject poverty, the country with the largest poverty.


“Reaching the target of reducing extreme poverty to less than 3 per cent by 2030 will require a redoubling of efforts and a greater focus on those countries where poverty is the worst,” the World Bank said.
