Residents of Pipeline Estate are sounding the alarm over a sharp increase in prostitution, a problem that is now threatening the fabric of family life in the area. Many women say their husbands have been caught cheating with sex workers charging as little as fifty shillings.
Nairobi Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria has acknowledged the crisis, assuring residents that the county government is aware and ready to act. In a recent statement, Mosiria condemned the presence of prostitution in residential areas, calling it illegal and a threat to the wellbeing of families. “We will not allow such businesses to operate here. Our women deserve to enjoy their married life in peace,” he said.
The situation escalated after a viral TikTok video showed locals venting their frustrations, some sharing stories of spouses caught in their matrimonial beds with sex workers, who reportedly also steal clothes from unsuspecting residents. This has drawn widespread attention online, with many Kenyans expressing shock and demanding urgent action.
The county government has promised an intervention plan, but no specific timeline has been given. Residents await details on how enforcement will be carried out and whether support services will be provided to affected families. Meanwhile, social media continues to buzz with debates over the causes and solutions for the rising prostitution in Pipeline.
As the community waits for concrete steps, questions remain. How deep is this problem? Will the crackdown be effective or merely temporary? And what broader social issues underlie this disturbing trend? The answers will determine the future peace and security of Pipeline Estate.
