The government has deported eight Pakistani women linked to Sports Cabinet Secretary (CS) Rashid Echesa.
The belly dancers who were accosted by police at a social club in Parklands, and arraigned in court on charges of being in the country illegally.
The women were accused of engaging in suspicious activities other than those specified in their visas.
They had reportedly been flown into the country through the assistance of the Sports CS to promote transnational culture.
The ladies who were all aged above 18 are, however, suspected to have been victims of human trafficking.
According to the Ministry of Interior, the deportation was based on the violation of regulation 26 (3) of Kenya Citizenship and Migration Regulations.
"Investigations are still going on to establish the circumstances in which the women came into Kenya ostensibly to promote transnational culture but ended up in suspicious places," Interior spokeswoman Wangui Muchiri was quoted.
The court on Friday ordered the women to be kept in a safe house as police carried investigations to establish whether they were victims of human trafficking.
During the hearing of the case, the defence lawyer Evans Ondieki told Senior principal magistrate Kennedy Cheruiyot that the eight girls who were arrested at Balle Balle Club at Parklands "are in the country legally with full permission of CS Echesa".
According to the lawyer, each of the girls paid the Immigration Department Ksh45,000 to be issued with the special passes.
