Female
university students in Kenya may have to look for alternative means of
self-pleasure after the country’s government intercepted and destroyed sex toys
brought into the Rift Valley region. The authorities took this action following
reported high rate of masturbation in the East African nation.
According to
Ms. Florence Otori, North Rift coordinator of the Kenya Revenue Authority, the
pleasure toys were meant for sale to women and female university students in
that region. She observed how unfortunate it was to see businessmen and women
import such gadgets into the country and resort to selling them in their area.
Otori stated
that the authority would not allow such actions to continue unhindered. She
called the importers greedy people who do not care about the negative impact
their actions might have on their kids.
She said,
“As KRA, we cannot allow the furthering of moral decadence by greedy
businessmen and businesswomen who are only out to make money, forgetting the
negative impact such gadgets can have on children, who may be tempted to try
them out. We won’t allow the importation of such gadgets into the country.”
She further
expressed disgust at women who are also part of the activities.
“It is
shocking that women, who we look up to in society, are the ones buying such
gadgets,” she said, adding that women should be epitomes of moral direction in
society.
Kenya
Revenue Authority intercepted and destroyed the sex toys worth around Ksh300000
(about 3000 United States Dollars) on Wednesday. The products were said to have
been brought into the region through Eldoret International Airport and were
promptly set ablaze after the confiscation.
Ms. Otori
also mentioned other items destroyed including cigarettes, medicines,
pornographic material and fake seeds. She said, “Some of the goods we destroyed
are very harmful to the health… the public must be made aware”.
