Police have launched investigations into child sex trafficking in Maai Mahiu after a BBC Africa Eye exposé revealed underage girls were being exploited by truck drivers in the busy transit town.
A multi-agency team, including officers from the Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Protection Unit, has been deployed to record statements, rescue affected children, and arrest suspects.
The 27-minute documentary, Madams: Exposing Kenya's Child Sex Trade, aired by the BBC, shows how minors are sexually exploited by truckers travelling through Maai Mahiu to Uganda, Rwanda, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The exposé, filmed over several months, features undercover reporters interacting with two women allegedly involved in the trade.
