Watu wasiaomini kuna Mungu wameitaka Serikali ya Kaunti ya Nairobi kujenga madanguro badala ya kupitisha sheria inayokataza ukahaba
Mwenyekiti wa chama hicho, Harrison Mumia amesema ametoa siku 14 kwa viongozi wa jiji hilo kuondoa muswada wa sheria hiyo ama wataandamana
Wamedai kupitisha sheria hiyo itakuwa ni kinyume na katiba na na kurudisha nyuma
Bunge la Kaunti hiyo lilipitisha mjadala unaokataza ukahaba Nairobi
Wamedai biashara ya ukahaba ni kama biashara nyingine ambazo watu wanatoa huduma kwa utaalamu kwa malipo ya fedha
Kwenya barua yao wamesema badala ya kupitisha sheria ya kukataza ukahaba wangepitisha sheria ya jinsi ya kuendesha madanguro ambayo itawezesha serikali kuwa na udhibiti kwenye biashara hiyo
Pia amesema makahaba ni kama wafanyakazi wengin na hawapaswi kubaguliwa kutokana na kazi yao

Atheists have asked the Nairobi county government to construct brothels instead of passing laws to ban prostitution.
Chairman Harrison Mumia, in a letter to the council of governors chairman Josphat Nanok and copied to the AG, said they will protest if MCAs don't withdraw their motion prohibiting commercial sex work in the city.
He issued a 14- day ultimatum saying the the passing of the law is unconstitutional,illegal, untenable, and retrogressive.
The county assembly on Friday passed a motion prohibiting commercial sex work in Nairobi. The motion was moved by Woodley Kenyatta Golf Course MCA Mwangi Njihia.
He argued that sex trade in the capital has become an open air business without consequences and therefore, the city needs nip the vice in the bud.
"Instead of banning prostitution the county should pass enabling legislation to facilitate running of brothels," Mumia said in the December 2 letter.
"This will enable the government to exercise more control over the sex industry. Prostitutes have rights just like any other worker in Kenya and should not be judged unfairly."
He said prostitution is a service industry like any other in which people exchange skills for money or other reward.
"No person should be violated on the basis of the trade occupation work calling or profession," the Atheists leader said.
"It should not be lost on the county that no law has ever succeeded in stopping prostitution anywhere. Sex worker is not going to disappear any time soon," he said.
The penal code criminalises aspects of prostitution stating that every male person who knowingly lives wholly or in part on the earnings of prostitution or in any public place persistently solicits or importunes for immoral purposes, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
It adds that: "Every woman who knowingly lives wholly or in part on the earnings of prostitution, or who is proved to have, for the purpose of gain, exercised control, direction or influence over the movements of a prostitute in such a manner as to show that she is aiding, abetting or compelling her prostitution with any person, or generally, is guilty of a felony."
