A MEMBER of Parliament has asked the government to table in the House a Bill to fight prostitution in the country. Catherine Magige (Special Seats – CCM) said that prostitution in the country has been on the increase, indicating moral degradation and contributing to more HIV infections. She wanted to know when the government would bring to Parliament a bill to fight the immoral practice’. In response, Justice and Constitutional Affairs Deputy Minister Angela Kairuki said the government would bring to Parliament a bill to that effect if an evaluation showed some weaknesses in the existing legal framework to fight prostitution.
