More than 2,500 female sex workers are calling on the county government to step in following the exit of a non-governmental organisation that has been supporting them in the fight against HIV/Aids.

The sex workers have been drawing support from Impact Research and Development Organisation (IRDO) which exited the county about a week ago.
