Men are fast becoming part of commercial sex workers especially in major cities of the country. Before now it was mostly done in secret but it has now taken a new dimension with the men standing by the road side soliciting for clients.
According John Wanjau Kirima he used to stand the streets of Kijabe Street which is acknowledged as one of the red light zones in Nairobi for business. He also owned up to having been into the 'business' for about five years.
He said: "I have been doing this for five years now after I was divorced by former wife and being homeless for a while. I used to go and visit his house to learn music and one day he told me that he liked me, that is how we started.
He was the one who initiated me into having s*x through the anus.
"My parents were not taking good care of me. Later he went for a HIV/AIDS test and it was discovered that he was HIV positive. His friends and family disowned him. Like most persons in the commercial sex; he claimed he went into the trade for economic reasons, adding that he joined the females to stand by the streets for clients at night.
Problem, however, started when he encountered a customer who approached him for his services on the March 11, 2012. He usually charged 1,000 for each round of sex but the had pleaded with him to accept the same sum for two rounds of sex, but the client gave him only 100 after their time together and asked him to return the next day for the balance of 900.
John Kirima stated that the customer did not live up to his promise as he gave him only 350 which upset him leading to an argument that landed both parties in police station where they had gone to have the issue resolved but were detained and charged to court the following day.
