S.e.x starved female prisoners in Kenya are pleading with
authorities to implement new laws that will allow them to have
s.e.x.u.a.l intimacy with their spouses when they visit.
Sofia
Swaleh who is serving a life sentence, speaking on behalf of her
inmates said the time given to their visiting spouses and relatives is
too short and does not give room for intimacy.
“The Government,
through the leadership of Kenyan prisons, should introduce a law that
allows women serving lengthy jail terms enjoy s.e.x.u.a.l intimacy with
their visiting husbands,” Swaleh of the Mtangani GK Prison in Malindi,
Kilfi County said.
Mtangani GK Prison senior administrator,
Purity Nkatha Muthaura, spoke with K24 digital, saying the request
from the female inmates or even their incarcerated male counterparts
cannot be permitted.
He added that it will be impossible to allow for such conjugal rights to be enjoyed unless a new law is passed by Parliament.
