Addis Ababa – The Police in Kenya said Tuesday said they were
battling to contain a new trend of commercial sex tourism that
targets young boys in the coastal towns of the country .

The reports monitored from a local radio station, quoted Police
as saying the trend had caused the rise in the sale pampers in the
region due to the rising health problems among boys indulging in
the act.

Malindi sub county Deputy Police Commissioner, Joshua Nkanatha
told Kenya local radio that boys from poor families were being
lured into the trade by rich male tourists.
The Police official said the situation had lead to an increase in
number of cases of HIV/AIDS spread in the area.
“A survey we conducted shows that boys engaging in intimate
activities with male tourists are buying pampers because they can
no longer hold their stool, “Nkanatha said.
Nkanatha, who spoke during a Public Baraza at HGM primary
school, Malindi said “male prostitution had become high
in Malindi and contributing to increased cases of HIV and AIDS.
He urged educated and concerned members of the public to take
up the responsibility of enlightening the youths
about the health risks of engaging in the vice.
