DCI turns to boda boda riders in fresh push to disrupt child sex trafficking

NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 7— The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has enlisted boda boda riders as frontline community monitors in a renewed effort to detect and disrupt child sex trafficking…

Through its Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Protection Unit, the DCI on Wednesday engaged riders from Zimmerman and Mirema wards in Roysambu Sub-County, urging them to use their presence across communities to identify and report suspected cases involving children.

The sensitisation exercise, conducted in partnership with MARICI-Kenya, focused on raising awareness of the risks and consequences of child sex trafficking while encouraging riders to become the “eyes and ears” of law enforcement on the ground.

“The engagement sought to raise awareness of the risks and devastating consequences of child sex trafficking, while reminding the riders of their important role in protecting children and helping law enforcement bring perpetrators to justice,” DCI said.
