Sex workers from various parts of the country, including Mombasa, have descended upon Bomet Town in anticipation of the upcoming tea bonuses.
The women, who have booked lodging rooms in the town, are said to be targeting local farmers who are expected to receive their tea bonuses next month.
Bomet Central Police Commander Musa Imamai Omar has cautioned the farmers against carrying large amounts of cash, warning them of the risk of losing their hard-earned money to the women or marauding gangs.
Commander Omar advised the farmers to engage in other development activities instead of indulging in careless drinking and merry-making at the expense of their families.
The police boss also noted that the women are taking advantage of the wheat-harvesting season in Narok County between July and August.
