British Soldiers in Kenya Used Sex Workers Despite Ban: Inquiry Finds
A recent British Army inquiry has revealed that despite a ban, some soldiers at the British Army Training Unit Kenya (Batuk) have continued to engage sex workers. The investigation, prompted by an ITV investigation and spanning over two years, found transactional sex occurring at a “low to moderate” level. The report details 35 suspected instances of soldiers paying for sex since 2022, with further cases under investigation. In response, the Army plans to implement recommendations to curb these activities, including additional training and stricter disciplinary measures.
