¶1. (U) The following information is keyed to the paragraphs in
reftel.
--------------------------------------
Overview of a country's activities to
eliminate trafficking in persons:
--------------------------------------
¶2. A. (SBU) Kenya is a source, transit, and destination country for
trafficking in persons. Victims are trafficked for sexual
exploitation through the country from Asian countries and the Middle
East en route to European destinations. Women are trafficked to the
Middle East, other African nations, Western Europe, and North
America for forced domestic servitude and manual labor, massage
parlors and brothels. Burundian and Rwandan nationals are working in
the commercial sex trade or as domestic laborers in Kenya, and may
have been trafficked for these purposes. Children are trafficked
from Rwanda, DRC, Ethiopia, Uganda and Somalia to towns including
Kisumu, Nakuru, Nairobi and Mombasa. Most trafficked girls end up
working as barmaids, where they are vulnerable to sexually
exploitation, or as child prostitutes. As awareness and
understanding of human trafficking among communities grows, there is
general acknowledgement that internal trafficking is prevalent.
There have been several studies that describe how trafficking works
in Kenya, but, there are no credible statistics to quantify the
phenomena.
Human trafficking in Kenya continues to attract the attention of the
media, the public and the Kenya Government. A joint UNICEF/Ministry
of Home Affairs research report on child sex tourism in four coastal
districts launched on December 19, 2006, continues to be a point of
reference as data on trafficking continues to be unavailable. Media
covered trafficking issues in a generally responsible manner,
although there were some sensational media reports. ANPPCAN, CRADLE,
and the Solidarity Center have published reports on trafficking
describing how the process works in Kenya.
Women, children, men, and refugees continued to be at risk. Girls
are more at risk of being trafficked as child domestics, barmaids or
prostitutes. Boys are exploited in domestic servitude, agriculture,
and as herdsmen.
There are reports that adults who traveled to the Middle East
seeking work are exploited. Women find work mainly as domestics,
while men are employed mainly in the construction industry.
¶B. (SBU) Kenya remained a source, transit, and destination country
for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of forced
labor and commercial sexual exploitation. Kenyan children were
trafficked within the country for domestic servitude, street
vending, agricultural labor, and commercial sexual exploitation,
including involvement in the coastal sex tourism industry.
Conditions were harsh, with long hours, poor or nonexistent pay.
Trafficked children were often physically and sexually abused.
Kenyan women and girls were trafficked to the Middle East, other
African nations, Europe, and North America for domestic servitude,
enslavement in massage parlors and brothels. They were lured by
deceptive employment offers or false marriage offers. Kenyan men
were usually exploited in construction in the Middle East.
Employment agencies facilitate and profit from the trafficking of
Kenyan nationals to Middle Eastern nations, notably Saudi Arabia,
the U.A.E., and Lebanon, as well as Germany. Chinese, Indian, and
Pakistani women reportedly transited Nairobi en route to
NAIROBI 00000763 002.2 OF 013
exploitation in Europe's commercial sex trade. Brothels and massage
parlors in Nairobi employ foreign women, some of whom are likely
trafficked.
Males and females ages 13 to 25 are the most common victims. The
HIV/AIDS pandemic has produced hundreds of thousands of orphans and
vulnerable children who are easy targets for traffickers. The
majority of domestic victims are from poor households with little
education and poor employment prospects. Educated people are
trafficked both domestically, and internationally. Internal and
regional victims are usually transported on public road
transportation. Victims traveling to the Middle East, Europe, and
the U.S. generally possess travel documents and travel alone to the
destination, where they are then exploited.
Internal trafficking is largely a rural to urban movement, with
victims coming from Western, Eastern, Nyanza, Rift Valley, and Coast
Provinces and Nairobi. Somali in refugee camps and in the Eastleigh
section of Nairobi are also victims, especially of false and/or
early marriage. Traffickers generally operated in small, local
rings targeting poor families with false offers to take, raise, and
educate children or youth in towns. They usually gained the trust
of the families through family or tribal ties, but some posed as
clergy or employment recruiters. Some parents knowingly gave their
child to a friend or relative to work, both as a means of feeding
the child, with the expectation of remittance of the child's
earnings. Despite child-protection legislation outlawing the
practice, employing children as domestics and farm workers is still
regarded as normal in Kenya. Children also recruited other children
to work as domestics or prostitutes.
Trafficking within the region appears to be the work of small or
family-based crime groups. Children and youth are commonly
trafficked across borders for exploitation as cheap, forced labor.
Porous borders and corruption of border police made undocumented
movement easy.
The case of two children trafficked from Bomet to Tanzania is
illustrative. A Tanzanian woman approached a large, poor family,
claiming to be a member of the clergy. She convinced the parents to
allow a 10-year old boy and a 12-year old girl to be raised by her
at a religious establishment in Tanzania. Instead, the children
were forced to work on the woman's farm. The girl twice attempted
to escape, but police found and returned her to the trafficker, who
claimed the girl was her own daughter. The girl finally escaped and
returned to her home in Kenya, where she convinced authorities to
locate and rescue her brother. The Tanzanian trafficker and her
Kenyan accomplice disappeared, but are suspected of having
trafficked 40 Kenyan children in this manner.
The Government increasingly collaborated with NGOs and international
organizations (IO) to combat human trafficking. Awareness among
government departments grew during the year, largely due to NGO and
IO efforts to study the issue, educate the media, and inform the
public about the problem. The Ministry of Home Affairs chaired the
National anti-Trafficking Steering Group and worked closely with
stakeholders to develop a National Plan of Action. The fight
against child trafficking was the theme of the Day of the African
Child commemorated across the country on June 16, 2007.
¶C. (SBU) The Government has mandated the Ministry of Home Affairs
under the Vice President's Office to coordinate the government's
anti-TIP efforts. In turn, the Ministry of Home Affairs has
designated its Children's Department as the lead agency. During the
reporting period, the Ministry of Local Government and Provincial
Administration supported efforts to enlist hotels and other tourism
sector stakeholders to enforce the Code of Conduct (the Code)
NAIROBI 00000763 003.2 OF 013
against child sex tourism (CST). These Government departments
supported NGOs and convened meetings to sensitize stakeholders to
the need to uphold the Code. In the North Coast area of Malindi,
the local District Commission established and chaired an active
District-level anti-CST committee. This committee was formed after
an appeal by the U.S. Ambassador during his July 2007 visit to the
District. A local NGO reported that 20 hotels in the Malindi area
pledged to enforce the Code of Conduct against CST, increasing the
number of participating hotels to over 40.
¶D. (SBU) Senior government officials and government officials
working with children accept that Kenya has a trafficking problem.
However increased awareness within the Government at all levels is
needed to foster better cooperation with civil society, and to
strengthen public education efforts. Government agencies such as
the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Labor and Human
Resource Development do not have sufficient resources for their
local officers to work effectively to protect children or help
victims. A variety of laws address some aspects of trafficking.
Additionally, the absence of a comprehensive anti-trafficking law
hampers police and the criminal justice system (who are also
under-resourced and not well-trained on trafficking) in fighting
TIP. Widespread corruption among immigration and police officials
is another obstacle to the government's anti-TIP efforts.
¶E. (SBU) The government had no mechanism to assess or report its
anti-trafficking efforts, but officials addressing anti-trafficking
or child labor events described the government's anti-TIP efforts in
detail. The Ministry of Home Affairs began collecting information
on trafficking cases in 2007 from the media, foreign governments,
the UN Organization for Drugs and Crime, and the police.
During the reporting period the Vice President, Attorney General,
Labor Minister, and other senior officials spoke at length of the
government activities to combat TIP at events such as the September
2007 1st International Conference on Child Sexual Abuse in Africa
and the launch of the Solidarity Center's study on trafficking in
Kenya.
INVESTIGATION AND PROSECUTION OF TRAFFICKERS:
--------------------------------------------- --
¶3. A. (SBU) Kenya does not have comprehensive anti-trafficking in
persons legislation. During the reporting period the Attorney
General's office worked with NGOs to refine a bill that should be
completed in 2008. In the absence of comprehensive anti-TIP
legislation, various sections of the Penal Code, the Sexual Offenses
Act of 2006, and the Children's Act of 2001 criminalize certain acts
associated with trafficking of children and trafficking in persons
for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
Section 174 of the Penal Code states, "Any person who forcibly or
fraudulently takes or entices away or detains a child; or receives
or harbors the child, knowing it to have been taken or enticed away
or detained is guilty of a felony and is liable for imprisonment for
seven years."
Section 254 of the Penal Code states, "Any person who conveys any
person beyond the limit of Kenya without the consent of that person
or of some person legally authorized to consent on behalf of that
person is said to kidnap that person from Kenya."
Section 255 creates the offence of kidnapping of a minor under the
age of 14 if male or age 16 if female without the consent of the
guardian and sets the penalty at seven years imprisonment.
Section 260 creates the felony offence of kidnapping or abducting in
NAIROBI 00000763 004.2 OF 013
order to subject a person to grievous harm or slavery and sets the
penalty at 10 years imprisonment.
Section 261 criminalizes the wrongful concealment or confinement of
a kidnapped person, setting the same penalty as a kidnapper.
Section 264 criminalizes the "Buying or disposing of a person as a
slave." To import, export, remove, buy, sell, or dispose of any
person as a slave, or to accept, receive or detain against his will
any person as a slave is an offense and the penalty is seven years
imprisonment.
Section 265 creates the felony offense of "habitual dealer in
slaves," and sets the penalty at 10 years imprisonment. Section 266
outlaws any person who unlawfully compels any person to labor
against his will.
Section 15 of the Children's Act of 2001 states, "A child shall be
protected from sexual exploitation and use in prostitution,
inducement or coercion to engage in any sexual activity, and
exposure to obscene materials." Section 13.1 states, "A child shall
be entitled to protection from physical and psychological abuse,
neglect and any other form of exploitation including sale,
trafficking or abduction by any person. The Act sets no penalties
for violations.
The Sexual Offenses Act of 2006 includes the following provisions:
Section 13: Child Trafficking: A person including a juristic person
who, in relation to a child -
a) knowingly or intentionally makes or organizes any travel
arrangements for or on behalf of a child within or outside the
borders of Kenya, with the intention of facilitating the commission
of any sexual offence against that child, irrespective of whether
the offence is committed;
b) supplies, recruits, transports, transfers, harbors or receives a
child, within or across the borders of Kenya, for purposes of the
commission of any sexual offence under this Act with such child or
any other person,
is, in addition to any other offence for which he or she may be
convicted, guilty of the offence of child trafficking and is liable
upon conviction to imprisonment for a term of not less than ten
years and where the accused person is a juristic person to a fine of
not less than two million shillings.
Section 14 Child sex tourism: A person including a juristic person
who:
a) makes or organizes any travel arrangements for or on behalf of
any other person, whether that other person is resident within or
outside the borders of Kenya, with the intention of facilitating the
commission of any sexual offence against a child, irrespective of
whether that offence is committed; or
b) prints or publishes, in any manner, any information that is
intended to promote or facilitate conduct that would constitute a
sexual offence against a child
c) introduces, organizes or facilitates contact with another person
under the auspices of promoting tourism, in any manner, in order to
promote conduct that would constitute a sexual offence against a
child, is guilty of an offence of promoting child sex tourism and is
liable upon conviction to imprisonment for a term of not less than
ten years and where the accused person is a juristic person to a
fine of not less than two million shillings.
NAIROBI 00000763 005.2 OF 013
Section 15 Child prostitution: Any person who:
a) knowingly permits any child to remain in any premises, for the
purposes of causing such child to be sexually abused or to
participate in any form of sexual activity or in any obscene or
indecent exhibition or show;
b) acts as a procurer of a child for the purposes of sexual
intercourse or for any form of sexual abuse or indecent exhibition
or show;
c) induces a person to be a client of a child for sexual intercourse
or for any form of sexual abuse or indecent exhibition or show, by
means of print or other media, oral advertisements or other similar
means;
d) takes advantage of his influence over, or his relationship to a
child, to procure the child for sexual intercourse or any form of
sexual abuse or indecent exhibition or show;
e) threatens or uses violence towards a child to procure the child
for sexual intercourse or any form of sexual abuse or indecent
exhibition or show;
f) intentionally or knowingly owns, leases, rents, manages, occupies
or has control of any movable or immovable property used for
purposes of the commission of any offence under this Act with a
child by any person;
g) gives monetary consideration, goods other benefits or any other
form of inducement to a child or his parents with intent to procure
the child for sexual intercourse or any form of sexual abuse or
indecent exhibition or show,
commits the offence of benefiting from child prostitution and is
liable upon conviction to imprisonment for a term of not less than
ten years.
Section 18: Trafficking for Sexual Exploitation:
1) Any person who intentionally or knowingly arranges or facilitates
travel within or across the borders of Kenya by another person and
either -
a) intends to do anything to or in respect of the person during or
after the journey in any part of the world, which if done will
involve the commission of an offence under this Act; or
b) believes that another person is likely to do something to or in
respect of the other person during or after the journey in any part
of the world, which if done will involve the commission of an
offence under this Act, is guilty of an offence of trafficking for
sexual exploitation.
2) A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable upon
conviction, to imprisonment for a term of not less than fifteen
years or to a fine of not less than two million shillings or to
both.
¶B. (SBU) The Sexual Offenses Act of 2006 provides a minimum sentence
for trafficking of people for sexual exploitation 10 years in
prison and a fine of approximately two million shillings
(approximately USD 27,400). The maximum sentence is life
imprisonment.
The Sexual Offences Act has not been fully operationalized, so there
NAIROBI 00000763 006.2 OF 013
were no prosecutions under this law in the reporting period. The
GOK appointed a Task Force to implement the Act, chaired by High
Court Judge Lady Justice Joyce Aluoch.
The Employment Act of 2007 sets the requirements for recruiters and
foreign employers for employing Kenyans outside of Kenya. Some
recruiters and Kenyan migrants follow the procedure described below
of having the Ministry of Labor and Human Resource Development vet
their contracts for compliance with Kenyan labor laws. The Saudi
Embassy confirms contracts for Kenyan migrants. However, some
Kenyan migrants claim they are traveling for education or tourism
rather than employment, and do not avail themselves of this
service.
The Employment Act provides as follows:
Section 82. This part shall apply in respect of every foreign
contract of service, being a contract for service made in Kenya and
to be performed in full or in part outside Kenya, and a contract for
service with a foreign state, except a contract for service entered
into with, by or on behalf of the government.
Section 83. A foreign contract of service shall be in the prescribed
form, signed by the parties thereto, and shall be attested by a
labor officer.
Section 84. A foreign contract of service shall not be attested
unless the labor officer is satisfied-
(a) that the consent of the employee to the contract has been
obtained
(b) of the absence of any fraud, coercion or undue influence, and
any mistake of fact, or misrepresentation which might have induced
the employee to enter into the contract;
(c) that the contract is in the prescribed form;
(d) that the terms and conditions of employment contained in the
contract comply with the provisions of this. Act and have been
understood by the employee;
(e) that the employee is medically fit for the performance of his
duties under the contract; and
(f) that the employee is not bound to serve under any other contract
of service during the period provided in the foreign contract.
Section 85.(1) When the employer who enters into a foreign contract
of service does not reside or carry on business within Kenya, the
employer shall, or where the employer resides in Kenya, the labor
officer may require the employer to, give security by bond in the
prescribed form, with one or more sureties resident in Kenya and
approved of by the labor officer for the due performance of the
contract in such sums as the labor officer considers reasonable.
(2) Where the employer has an authorized agent resident in Kenya,
the Minister may require that the security bond specified in
subsection (1) be given by the agent and the agent shall personally
be bound by the terms of the bond notwithstanding the disclosure of
his principal.
The Employment Act of 2007 defines forced or compulsory labor to
mean any work or service which is extracted from any person under
the threat of any penalty, including the threat of a loss of rights
or privileges, which is not offered voluntarily by the person doing
the work or performing the service;
Section 4.1 of the Act states:
(1) No person shall use or assist any other person in recruiting,
trafficking or using forced labor. (The Act does not define
trafficking or refer to another law that does.)
NAIROBI 00000763 007.2 OF 013
The Act defines the worst form of child labor with respect to
juveniles to mean their employment, engagement or usage in any
activity comprising of
(a) all forms of slavery or practices similar to slavery, such as
the sale and trafficking of children, debt bondage and serfdom and
forced -or compulsory recruitment of children for use in armed
conflict;
(b) the use, procuring or offering of a child for prostitution, for
the production of pornography or for pornographic performances;
(c) the use, procuring or offering of a child for illicit
activities, in particular for the production and trafficking of
drugs as defined in the relevant international treaties;
(d) work which, by its nature or the circumstances in which it is
carried out, is likely to harm the health, safety or morals of the
child;
¶B. (SBU) Under the Sexual Offenses Act of 2006, the minimum sentence
for trafficking of people for sexual exploitation under the various
existing laws is 10 years in prison and a fine of approximately
$27,400 (approximately two million shillings). The maximum is life
imprisonment.
There were no prosecutions under these laws in the reporting period.
The Sexual Offences Act has not been fully operationalized. The GOK
appointed a Task Force to implement the Act, chaired by High Court
Judge Lady Justice Joyce Aluoch.
¶C. (SBU) Under Section 4 of the Employment Act of 2007, the penalty
for recruiting, trafficking or using forced labor shall be a fine
not exceeding five hundred thousand shillings (approximately USD
7700) or up to two years imprisonment, or both.
Section 86 of the Employment Act of 2007 states that person who
violates the provisions regarding employing a Kenyan outside Kenya
is subject to a fine not exceeding two hundred thousand shillings
(approximately USD 3100) or up to six months imprisonment, or both.
No specific law in Kenya punishes employers or labor agents who
confiscate workers' passports or travel documents, switch contracts
without the worker's consent as a means to keep the worker in a
state of service, or withhold payment of salaries as a means of
keeping the worker in a state of service. The Employment Act and
other labor laws protect the rights of migrant as well as Kenyan
workers.
There were no arrests or convictions for labor trafficking or forced
labor during the reporting period.
¶D. (SBU) Under the Penal Code, the penalty for rape is imprisonment
for a period of 10 years to life. The penalty for gang rape is 15
years to life imprisonment. The minimum term in prison for
trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation is 15 years'
imprisonment, a fine of up to approximately 2 milion Shillings
(approximately USD27,400), or both. As Kenya does not have
legislation specifically proscribing trafficking in persons or
commercial sexual exploitation, no comparison of penalties is
possible.
-- E. Prostitution is not illegal. However, the activities of the
pimp and brothel are criminalized. Section 17 of the Sexual Offenses
Act, Exploitation of prostitution, states:
Any person who-
(a) intentionally causes or incites another person to become a
NAIROBI 00000763 008.2 OF 013
prostitute; and
(b) intentionally controls any of the activities of another person
relating to that persons prostitution; and does so for or in
expectation of gain for him or her self or a third person, is guilty
of an offence and is liable upon conviction to imprisonment for a
term of not less than five years or to a fine of five hundred
thousand shillings (approximately USD 7700) or to both.
Section 182 of the Penal Code on idle and disorderly persons states
that "Every common prostitute behaving in a disorderly or indecent
manner in any public place", "Every person who without lawful excuse
publicly does any indecent act, and "every person who in any public
place solicits for immoral purposes" is guilty of a misdemeanor.
The penalty for the first offence is imprisonment for one month
and/or a fine up to one hundred shillings (approximately USD 1500).
The penalty for every subsequent offence is imprisonment for one
year.
¶F. (SBU) A number of human trafficking cases were prosecuted, with
some suspects being given prison sentences. Examples:
In April 2007, two women who allegedly lured a 14 year old to their
home and encouraged her to engage in sexual activity were arrested
on defilement and child prostitution charges. Both charges carry a
maximum of life imprisonment. The women were remanded in custody.
The case is still pending.
In June 2007, a German National was arrested under the Sexual
Offences Act and charged with sexually exploiting two children aged
17 years and 16 years at Likoni children's home who had been
trafficked from Nyanza. The matter is still pending.
One person was charged with sexual abuse of children under the
Sexual Offences Act and two accomplices were sought by police.
Six people were charged under the Children's Act with the sale and
trafficking of 14 children in Bomet and Nandi Districts of Rift
valley Province.
The Police Commissioner worked with Interpol to investigate the
suspected trafficking to Ireland of four children ages 4 to 14
years.
The Police Commissioner worked with Interpol to investigate the case
of a 19 year old woman allegedly trafficked to Holland.
Police investigated the trafficking of two children to Tanzania who
were rescued and taken to a children's home. Police suspect the
Tanzanian and Kenyan perpetrators had trafficked 40 children and six
adults.
In July 2007, two female secondary school teachers in Kirinyaga
District were arrested for alleged child trafficking based on a tip.
In October 2007, police in Malindi arrested an Italian national on
suspicion of drug trafficking, child prostitution and human
trafficking. His passport was expired and had false stamps
extending his stay in Kenya until 2015.
No specific law in Kenya punishes employers or labor agents who
confiscate workers' passports or travel documents, switch contracts
without the worker's consent as a means to keep the worker in a
state of service, or withhold payment of salaries as a means of
keeping the worker in a state of service. The Employment Act and
other labor laws protect the rights of migrant as well as Kenyan
NAIROBI 00000763 009.2 OF 013
workers. There were no arrests or convictions for labor trafficking
or forced labor during the reporting period.
Due to a lack of systematic tracking of anti-TIP efforts, the GOK
can not provide statistics on the total and types of trafficking
cases prosecuted.
¶G. (SBU) The Kenya Police Training College regularly invites the
Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) to make presentations on
trafficking and child protection to police recruits during training.
Under a USG program, the American Bar Association (ABA) provided a
week-long TIP training for 45 police officers in December 2007. The
Head of Police Training attended the course.
FIDA expects the police will formally incorporate FIDA's
presentation into its curriculum in 2008. The draft National Plan
of Action calls for government training facilities, including the
Kenya Institute of Administration (KIA), and the Kenya Police
Training (KPC) College and the Administration Police Training
College (APTC), to include a detailed unit on TIP in their
curricula.
¶H. (SBU) The GOK cooperated with Interpol to help convict three
women who had trafficked babies to the United Kingdom, and are still
working with it and the British government to extradite the main
culprit, Gilbert Deya, to Kenya to face charges. Kenyan police
worked informally with Tanzanian police to return the rescued boy
referred to in 27(B)
¶I. (SBU) Chapters 76 and 77 of the Penal Code define an "extradition
crime" as a crime which, if committed within the jurisdiction of
Kenya, would be one of the crimes described in the Schedule. While
trafficking is not a crime in Kenya, the schedule includes the
related crimes of:
--Rape, defilement and unlawful carnal knowledge.
--Indecent assault.
--Child-stealing.
--Kidnapping and false imprisonment.
--Procuration (soliciting sex).
--Offences against the Slave Trade Act 1873, or otherwise in
connection with the slave trade
The government did not receive any extradition requests during the
reporting period.
¶J. (SBU) There was no evidence to show government involvement in
TIP. However, some anti-trafficking activists made credible claims
that, in certain areas, police tolerated trafficking operations or,
in some cases, protected trafficking operations and prevented or
obstructed criminal investigations of trafficking in persons in
exchange for payment of bribes. Anti-trafficking groups alleged
that some immigration officials accepted bribes to ignore
cross-border trafficking.
¶K. (SBU) No government officials were arrested or tried for
involvement in trafficking during the reporting period.
¶L. (SBU) During the reporting period there were no reports of Kenyan
peacekeeping troops facilitating any form of human trafficking while
serving outside Kenya.
¶M. (SBU) Child sex tourism is common in Kenya, especially in the
coastal resort areas. Government policy has been to quietly deport
foreign pedophiles. No statistics on the number of foreigners
deported for child-sex tourism are available. The UNICEF/Ministry
of Home Affairs study of child sex tourism in four coastal resort
NAIROBI 00000763 010.2 OF 013
districts released in December 2006 profiled customers of child
prostitutes by nationality. It found that 41% of the child
prostitutes' customers were Kenyan. Other nationalities using child
prostitutes were: Ugandan, Tanzanian, Congolese, Italian, German,
Swiss, British, Scandinavian, French, American, Japanese, Arabian,
and Austrian. Kenya's child sexual abuse laws do not have
extraterritorial coverage.
-------------------------------------
PROTECTION AND ASSISTANCE TO VICTIMS
-------------------------------------
¶A. (SBU) The government does not provide assistance to foreign
trafficking victims. The government's policy is to return victims
to their country of origin.
¶B. (SBU) The government provided shelter and medical care to street
children exploited in the commercial sex industry. The Children's
department has officers who offer psychological counseling services
to victims, but this service is largely left to the NGOs. There are
currently 24 Government-owned children's care institutions and more
than 500 privately run children's homes. As government policy is to
deport foreign victims of trafficking, they did not have access to
assistance.
In partnership with an NGO, the Ministry of Home Affairs provided
and refurbished a building to house a child emergency helpline
provided some staff to serve as counselors and refer callers to
government and non-government service providers.
In June, the Director of Children's Services announced that
children's officers, probation officers, and provincial
administrators had received training on children's rights, which
included trafficking issues. Also in June, the government reported
that Children's Services had hired an additional 80 Chief Children's
Officers.
¶C. (SBU) The GOK provided human and logistical resources in
supporting NGOs and international organizations for services to
victims. The Ministry of Home Affairs partnered with NGO Childline
Kenya to establish a Child Helpline. The Ministry allocated and
refurbished office space to house the Helpline. Staff members were
hired and/or trained to serve as counselors and refer callers to
government and non-government service providers.
¶D. (SBU) Government law enforcement, immigration, and social
services personnel do not employ a formal system to proactively
identify trafficking victims among high-risk persons. The GOK
employs standard coordinating systems for different criminal
operations. During the reporting period two victims were referred
by law enforcement agencies to the IOM. The GOK has not developed a
referral process to transfer victims detained, arrested or placed in
protective custody by law enforcement authorities.
¶E. (SBU) Not applicable.
¶F. (SBU) The rights of victims were generally respected. Victims
were not detained or prosecuted.
¶G. (SBU) In the few anti-TIP prosecutions, there was cooperation
between trafficking victims and prosecutors. Kenya's justice system
allows trafficking victims to seek damages via civil actions.
However, high court costs and delays in processing suits serve as
practical barriers to victims of trafficking to seek redress through
civil actions. During the reporting period no trafficking victim
filed a civil action for damages.
NAIROBI 00000763 011.2 OF 013
¶H. (SBU) The Witness Protection Act of 2006 allows the Attorney
General to designate a witness for protection, which can include
relocation, shelter, and cash allowances. While the Act can be used
to protect a trafficking victim, its primary aim is to encourage
whistleblowers to come forward with evidence in corruption and
financial crimes. There was no public mention of the government
offering protection to any witnesses. See B for more information on
shelters.
¶I. (SBU) The Ministry of Foreign Affairs provides no training for
its embassy staffs on trafficking or how to assist victims. The
Ministry of Home Affairs claimed it posted an attach to Riyadh to
perform assist Kenyan victims of trafficking. During the reporting
period the U.S. Embassy Labor Attach and IOM briefed 15
newly-appointed Kenyan Ambassadors at the GOK's Foreign Service
Institute on trafficking and assisting Kenyan victims. The Ministry
of Foreign Affairs indicated it would like a comprehensive briefing
from IOM, the Ministries of Labor and Home Affairs, and Post for
mid-grade and junior officers on how to prepare to assist Kenyan
victims. There was no public mention of Kenyan Embassies or
Consulates assisting any TIP victims during the reporting period,
but in 2006, the Kenyan Embassy in Riyadh helped 10 women workers
return to Kenya. Ministry of Labor officials stated that, under the
contracts they approve, foreign employers or the recruitment agency
are responsible for paying for transportation back to Kenya if the
worker quits because of contract violations, including poor or
abusive working conditions. If they refuse, the government may pay
the transportation cost and then try to collect later from the
recruiter.
¶J. (SBU) The GOK has no programs to assist Kenyan nationals who are
victims of trafficking.
¶K. (SBU) The GOK worked closely with the donor community, the
International Organization for Migration, UNICEF and NGOs including
the Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA), ABA, CRADLE, SOLWODI, LSK,
and ANPPCAN. The GOK was not in a financial position to fund NGOs,
or direct how funds could be used.
-----------
PREVENTION
-----------
¶5. A. (SBU) The GOK acknowledges trafficking in persons as a
problem.
¶B. (SBU) The government participated in awareness building and
education campaigns, seminars and workshops together with NGOs. In
June 2007, the government declared anti-trafficking as the theme of
Kenya's observation of the Day of the African Child. District-level
officials tried to educate the public, but meetings with some
district-level officials indicated the impact was not strong and
clear. Senior government officials, including the Vice President,
Attorney General, Minister of Labor, and Permanent Secretary for
Home Affairs have spoken at various anti-trafficking and child
protection events. The Kenyan media, especially the
Government-owned Kenya Broadcasting Corporation reported cases of
suspected human trafficking.
¶C. (SBU) The GOK increased its participation in TIP activities and
meetings organized by NGOs. It invited anti-trafficking NGOs to
participate in GOK-organized anti-TIP events, with NGOs sometimes
acting as co-sponsors. The GOK worked closely with the donor
community, the International Organization for Migration, UNICEF and
NGO's including the Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA), ABA, CRADLE,
SOLWODI, LSK, and ANPPCAN. The government invited some of those
stakeholders to join the National Anti-Trafficking Steering
NAIROBI 00000763 012.2 OF 013
Committee and help draft the National Plan of Action and
Anti-Trafficking policy. The Attorney General's office is working
with NGOs to complete an anti-trafficking bill for submission to
parliament.
¶D. (SBU) The government does not monitor immigration and emigration
patterns for evidence of trafficking. Law enforcement agencies do
not screen for potential trafficking victims at border crossings.
¶E. (SBU) The Vice President's office, through the Ministry of Home
Affairs, leads the government's anti-trafficking efforts, strongly
supported by IOM. In August 2007 the government created a National
Steering Committee to Combat Human Trafficking to promote and
coordinate anti-trafficking activities and to raise the profile of
human trafficking issues in public and policy circles. The Steering
Committee is chaired by Ministry of Home Affairs Permanent Secretary
or the Director of Children's Services and its membership includes
representatives of government ministries, international
organizations, non-governmental and faith-based organizations. It
receives technical support from the International Organization for
Migration.
¶F. (SBU) The National Steering Committee to Combat Human Trafficking
is preparing a National Plan of Action and anti-Trafficking policy
for Cabinet approval. The post-election violence that disrupted
Kenya in January and February 2008 delayed completion of drafting of
the Action Plan until March or April 2008. The Steering Committee
consists of the following organizations:
GOK:
- Ministry of Provincial Administration and Internal Security
- Office of the Cabinet
- Kenya Police
- National Security Intelligence
- Permanent Secretary (PS) Ministry Home Affairs
- Ministry Home Affairs Children's Department
- Attorney General's Office
- Education Ministry
- Immigration Ministry
- Information and Communications Ministry
- Labor and Human Resources Ministry
- Tourism Ministry
- Health Ministry
Civil Society and NGOs:
- Law Society of Kenya
- FIDA (Federation of Women Lawyers)
- CRADLE Children's Foundation
- Children's Legal Network (CLAN)
- Association of Media Women in Kenya (AMWIK)
- SOLWODI (Solidarity with Women in Distress)
- Miji Kenda Girl Child Organization
- National Council of Christian Churches (NCCK)
- Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (SUPKEM)
- Hindu Council of Kenya
- African Network for the Prevention and Protection of Child Abuse
and Neglect (ANPPCAN)
International Partners
- IOM
- UNICEF
- UN Organization for Drugs and Crime (UNODC)
- International Labor organization (ILO)
- The American Bar Association
- Embassy of the United States of America
NAIROBI 00000763 013.2 OF 013
¶G. (SBU) The government undertook public education campaigns in
conjunction with NGO partners to reduce demand for commercial sex
acts.
¶H. (SBU) Not applicable
¶I. (SBU) Post presented a demarche to the government seeking
information on this issue for inclusion in the TIP report. There was
no reply. Military cooperation officials in the Embassy could not
confirm that anti-TIP training was included in PKO pre-deployment
training. During the reporting period there were no reports of
involvement of Kenyan PKO troops in trafficking.
