Parliament denies there’s a bill seeking to legalize prostitution in Kenya

The National Assembly has shot down a bill currently doing rounds on social media called “Sexual Enterprises Act 2018” calling it fake.

Parliament said the purported bill by Leader of Majority Aden Duale is a fake and is not being discussed in Parliament has the reports have started.

“A purported bill named Sexual Enterprise bill by Leader of Majority circulating in social media is fake,” they said in a tweet.

Tax

The fake bill has misled a section of Kenyans online claiming that the government wants to legalize commercial sex in Kenya and then collect tax from prostitutes to fund the economy.

“Majority Leader Aden Duale has no such bill either published or having tabled in the House. Please be advised accordingly,” tweeted the National Assembly.

Kenyans, however, went on to ask the parliament and government to consider some of the objectives of the purported bill because they can save the economy and create more jobs.
