The National Police Service has announced that it has launched a full-scale investigation into a child exploitation ring following shocking revelations made in the BBC Africa Eye documentary titled "Madams: Exposing Kenya's Child Sex Trade". The exposé, which aired this week, uncovered disturbing instances of child sexual exploitation in Maai Mahiu.
The BBC Africa Eye investigation has revealed how girls as young as 13 years are being trafficked for sex in Kenya, with the help of women known as "madams".
In swift response, Inspector General Douglas Kanja ordered the deployment of a multi-agency team, including officers from the specialised Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Protection Unit (AHTCPU) in the county and neighbouring counties.
