The revelations about the extent of prostitution in Nairobi are terribly shocking.
Shameful tale of immorality
And it is not because Kenyans were unaware that this immoral trade goes on in towns and even rural trading centres.
What is astounding is the news of a recent police swoop in Nairobi's notorious Koinange Street, which netted a Cabinet minister and other top government officials.
But even more shattering is the peddlers include students from university and other colleges in the city.
The only plausible explanation, considering the large numbers of girls selling sex, is that they may have been driven into the streets by circumstances beyond their control.
And the big question is: Are the girls so desperate that they must sell their bodies to survive? And if so, when do they learn? This is an issue that must be addressed immediately.
