President Kibaki should urgently sign the Counter-Trafficking in Persons Bill 2010 into law, and give legal teeth to efforts at countering the growing trafficking of human beings.
Kenya according to the United Nations has become a major transit point for human beings tricked or coerced into slavery. By signing the Bill, the President would bring Kenya in line with the UN Convention Against Organised Crime. The Bill proposes life sentences on traffickers working with organised crime syndicates.
