Hundreds of Kenyan call girls have subscribed to various sex chat sites,
which feature live webcam models streaming direct from their homes and
studios to various parts of the world, an investigation by Sunday nation shows. Modern technology has changed the face of Kenyan prostitution
with the practice moving from poorly-lit back streets to some of the
most exclusive estates in major cities.
In the coastal tourist haven of Mombasa, many
twilight girls who used to linger around night clubs and guest houses
are moving to secluded up market areas where they procure clients over
the Internet.
Instead of physically booking rooms with their
clients in lodges, the girls now use modern video transmission methods
such as Skype to reach clients the world over, for a good fee.
The sophistication of prostitution became evident
last week when police raided a five-bedroom luxury house in the posh
Nyali area of Mombasa and recovered 15 laptops, all connected to
wireless Internet (WiFi). The house also had high-speed broadband.
