Article Quality[edit]

I was asked to look at this article because it was a "mess". Actually it seems to be more an article about sex tourism. Robinson's "Risk-Coping through Sexual Networks" 2011 might be a good starting point for understanding prostitution in Kenya. --Michael Goodyear (talk) 03:47, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

it is also rather a polemic without any attempt to understand Kenyan society --Michael Goodyear (talk) 01:08, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's mostly un-sourced, and written in poor English. The second half _is_ a mess. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.57.99.17 (talk) 11:06, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[edit]

Wikipedia has blocked at least two sources - Nairobi Nights, and The Colonization of African Marriages. The reasons are unclear. --Michael Goodyear (talk) 02:25, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Editing needed[edit]

'In Kenya, a sexual encounter with a girl under the age of sixteen can cost twenty Euros, but can go up to as high as sixty Euros. This is beneficial...'

A little re-wording needed, I think. Valetude (talk) 17:57, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
