Police in Chennai, India took action against hotels and motels in the area after an ordeal revealed a network of tragic events. 

As per a report by the Indian newspaper Daiji World on Tuesday, May 30th, two Indians were apprehended for coercing four Kenyan women into prostitution. Law enforcement personnel who were making their rounds late at night found a Kenyan woman wandering outside an accommodation after being cast out. The detectives, following their unearthed clues, went to the lodge to investigate further about the woman, but the staff distanced itself from any association with the lady. 

The police officers were distrustful and so arrested the manager and assistant. After questioning the duo, it was discovered that the Kenyan women had been detained at the lodge for a month and obliged to work as sex workers. Additionally, they found out that these women had entered India on a tourist visa, one of which had already expired.

“When police reached the lodge and enquired about the Kenyan woman, they feigned ignorance. On suspicion, police took the manager and his assistant into custody for questioning. The four women were discovered by the police to have been detained and forced into prostitution rings after being transported from their native Kenya to Chennai. The one woman’s tourist visa had already expired when the four women arrived in Chennai on it,” the report read in part. 

Principal Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs Roseline Njogu cautioned on May 17th that Kenyans were being taken advantage of by dubious agents who granted them tourist visas instead of the required work permits. This meant that no job was actually available overseas for the person, leaving them stranded with no option but to resort to doing odd jobs. 

“Another huge problem we have is human trafficking where you see an advert and apply and the Visas are processed in a strange way, you are given a tourist visa instead of a work permit. They even pay for your ticket and when you land you realise that there was no job,” Njogu explained.

  1. We have to cut down the size…
    We have to cut down the size of modern families by asking a couple (men and women) to produce not more than two children per family. The smaller the size of the family the more likely that poverty will be dismal.
    The idea of a man marrying one to several wives should be outlawed immediately.
    The poverty that we are experiencing in Kenya is definitely man-made. In the Jewish religious book of worship,(bible) their man-made deity asked the Jewish people to ” multiply as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore.” Their religious book was”… written at different times between about 1200 and 165 BC.” The book is totally out of date especially for the people who daily use their “Critical Thinking Skills.”

    • @Solution,hiyo ni kweli…
      @Solution,hiyo ni kweli. Back then in that BC time scale, our planet was a sparsely populated due to perennial Wars among tribes of Isreal and their rival neighbors such as Philistines…and elsewhere in Africa too.Thus, the Isrealites had to multiply like locusts to replenish their dying men in wars..Now, there aren’t too much war happening unless you’re in Russia. Yes, watu waache kuzaana kama virus.
