Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai Proposes to Segregate Brothels in Their Own Estates

Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai has proposed that brothels be segregated in their own estates, citing the proliferation of such businesses in residential areas.

Alai said that the presence of brothels in residential areas can sometimes be a nuisance to residents. He argued that while people need entertainment venues, they should be built in a more systematic way rather than randomly.

“We need sanity in residential areas. Yes, we need the sin side sometimes but shouldn’t be the norm. Make it discreet and interesting. It can’t be all over as it is,” Alai said.

This is not the first time that Alai has spoken out against the annoyance caused by entertainment venues near residential areas. In late November of last year, he welcomed the Nairobi county government’s decision to cancel the operating licenses of nightclubs near residential neighborhoods.

City Hall said that it had revoked the licenses for the businesses in residential zones following a public outcry. It was also stated that only nightclubs in the Central Business District would be granted licenses from this point forward.

Alai, who had been at the forefront of criticizing the clubs for causing disturbance in residential areas due to noise pollution, applauded the decision.

Alai’s proposal to segregate brothels in their own estates has been met with mixed reactions. Some people support the idea, arguing that it would help to reduce the nuisance caused by brothels in residential areas. Others oppose the idea, arguing that it would be discriminatory and that it would not solve the underlying problem of prostitution.

The issue of brothels in residential areas is a complex one, and there is no easy solution. Alai’s proposal is one possible solution, but it is important to consider all of the potential impacts before implementing it.
