Mixed reactions as MCAs move to ban commercial sex in the city

Sections 153 and 154 of the Penal Code state that every man or 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.

For ages, commercial sex activities have been an illegal trade in the country. Although many do not know, the business goes on especially in the city, right under the watch of authorities.
