At the same time, the race has seen an upsurge of visitors and commercial sex workers in Naivasha leading to an acute shortage of condoms, The Star reported.
Stanley Ngara popularly known as the King of Condoms said freely distributed government condoms have run out.
“We have managed to buy and distribute to our lovely Kenyans. The demand is very high as we are talking. The sex workers are busy
“Most of the businesses are now working 24 hours. I have spoken to a hotel businessman and he says his sales for condoms are very high,” Ngara said.
