It has been reported by credible sources that city prostitutes have begun accepting cabbage, corn, and potatoes as payment for their services.
Close associates Prostitutes in the city said they took the drastic measure because harvest time has arrived in most rural areas.
Because of the rise in the price of these agricultural goods, prostitutes have begun accepting them as payment.
The prostitutes are said to be paid in corn, potatoes, cabbage, beans, peas, carrots, and whatever other seasonal farm goods are available at the time.
Since farmers make up the vast majority of their clientele, prostitutes in cities like Muranga, Kiranyaga, and Embu have embraced the new mode of payment.
Some of the prostitutes who engaged in barter trade were glad to talk about their experiences, claiming that they occasionally left with things whose currency value was greater than the actual cash they could have made that day.
Prostitutes are reported to have set a price of Ksh 200 (about $2) in farm products as the bare minimum they will accept for their services.
