The BBC has defended its investigation into child sexual exploitation in Kenya, after the government described it as a "hoax".
Speaking in parliament on Wednesday, Interior Minister, Kipchumba Murkomen, described the documentary as "fake because the people who were interviewed were not underage".
Mr Murkomen added that the victims interviewed by BBC Africa Eye were "posing as children".
The BBC says the documentary was clear that those interviewed were adults recounting "experiences of abuse that occurred when they were underage".
The broadcaster added that the Africa Eye investigation was "an important piece of public interest journalism".
