A man in Mumias has been arrested and detained for masquerading as a female prostitute. According to reports, the man, who referred to himself as ‘Grace’, was arrested after he was discovered by a client who had booked a room at a lodging.
Reliable sources claim that Grace had worn a wig and makeup and walked with a woman’s gait while at a local bar in the area, apparently fooling patrons into believing he was a woman. The reason for his actions was allegedly to support himself due to frustration with the high unemployment rate in Kenya.
Some individuals have taken to social media to comment on the situation. For example, Lusenge Tembo tweeted,
#Mumias man cum "entrepreneur" literally depicts the plight of youth due to run away corruption and unemployment!
Others, like Shiro Kihoro, have expressed a different view, stating
Let’s not judge the #Mumias "prostitute" and instead see a creative, strong human who went out of the comfort zone to earn a living. #Kudos
Additional reactions to the story can be seen in tweets from STEFAN MUTINDA, who said
