The eight Pakistani women arriving in the country through the secretary of the Sports Cabinet, Rashid Echesa, were deported.
Another Indian dancer was also deported on Saturday night for violating his status by changing his temporary laissez-pbader to travel to Kenya to promote a transnational culture.
However, women, all over the age of 18 and suspected of being victims of human trafficking, were arrested in a social club in Parklands and accused of being illegally in the country.
A statement from the Interior Ministry on Saturday night said the women had been deported for violating Kenyan citizenship regulations and migration rules, engaging in activities other than those specified in their policies. entry documents.
"Some are already gone and the last batch will leave at midnight. Investigations are still underway to establish the circumstances under which women came to Kenya, apparently to promote transnational culture, but ended up in suspicious locations, "said Interior Ministry spokeswoman , Wangui Muchiri.
HUMAN TRAFFIC
On Friday, a magistrate ordered that women, known as belly dancers, be placed in a safe place to allow police to determine whether they are victims of human trafficking.
Chief Magistrate Kennedy Cheruiyot at the Milimani Courthouse, Nairobi, gave the order after receiving special permits issued to eight foreign girls by Mr. Echesa.
Defense attorney Evans Ondieki told Cheruiyot that the eight girls arrested at the Balle Ball Club Parklands "are legally in the country with the permission of Mr. Echesa."
Mr. Ondieki said that Mr. Echesa had authorized the eight Pakistani cultural dancers to enter the country to promote transnational cultures.
"For humanitarian reasons, I urge the court to release these girls because they have not bathed for a week. Health rules require women to cool off and bathe as many times as they can, Ondieki told the magistrate.
SPECIAL PASSES
He said that it was very unfortunate that the police stifled the order of CS Echesa allowing girls to perform in Kenya until January 18, 2019.
He added that each of the girls had paid 45,000 shillings to the immigration department to receive special pbades.
"Which government serves the police and which government serves Mr. Echesa? Do not they serve the same diet? Wondered Mr. Ondieki.
He persuaded the court to release the daughters of Mr. Nadeem Khan of Blue Heart, a non-governmental organization fighting against human trafficking, violence and child abuse, to place them in a safe place where "only he and the police can access interrogations. "
