Kenya needs law on human trafficking, says law society.

The Law Society of Kenya has said that the lack of adequate legislation covering human trafficking in the country has lead to Kenyans becoming easy prey for traffickers. According to the US State Department Trafficking in Persons report 2006, Kenya is a “ source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children trafficked for
forced labor and sexual exploitation. Kenyan children are trafficked within the country for domestic servitude, street vending, agricultural labor, and sexual exploitation, including the coastal sex tourism industry.” Kenyan adults are also trafficked abroad into sexual exploitation and forced labour, as well as people being trafficked into the country to be exploited.
Jane Kamangu, an advocate with the Law Society of Kenya said;
“Kenyans should not vote for MPs who do not want to implement the human trafficking laws,”
