The BBC has defended its documentary Madams: Exposing Kenya's Child Sex Trade, after Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen dismissed it as a "hoax" yesterday.

In a statement Thursday, the broadcaster rejected Murkomen's allegations, insisting the documentary was a work of public interest journalism that followed ethical and professional standards.
