Worshipers of Church in Nairobi have appealed to the police to arrest sex workers who operate outside the place of worship.
The church owned by a popular gospel musician is located at the junction of River-Road and Ngariama road.
Directly opposite the church, the hookers while away the time as they sip beer on cans, smoking and others openly chewing miraa.
Ideally, the sermon should be going on with doors open, but these are not ordinary times. An open door and loud solicitation for sex might distract worshipers during lunchtime devotion. To keep temptation at bay, church doors remain closed at all times.
Here Nairobi Journal Reporter came across used condoms, inner wear, beer bottles, cigarette packets and drug remnants.
A security guard guarding the house of worship said said the presence of sex workers in the area had tainted the image of the church just like the nursery school.
“I have worked around here for some time now, and what I have seen is shocking. Some worshipers are also shocked when they see what happens around here,” said the guard.
