Kenya's ongoing political crisis has moved into the bedroom with thousands of women imposing a week long sex ban to protest against their country's bickering leadership.

They say the political in-fighting threatens to revive the chaos that gripped the African country last year.

The women say giving up sex would be highly beneficial if it meant that in return they would get a sense of security in the riot ravaged nation.

Even prostitutes will be paid to enforce the ban.

But understandably, there's opposition from the men, who say such a ban would be ineffective as the political crisis cannot be solved by banning sex.

The women hope the sex ban will persuade their men to pressure the government to make peace and are even asking the wives of the President and Prime Minister to join in.
