We are pleading with government authorities to ban the deployment of Kenyan domestic workers to the Middle East until protection measures are taken.
Kenyan workers do not deserve the kind of cruelty they have been subjected to,” Gathoni Wamuchomba, the chairperson of the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (Kewopa), who is also the Member of Parliament for Githunguri, told a press briefing on Tuesday at Parliament Buildings.
The MPs said they were concerned about recent reports of sexual violence, and physical and mental abuse of migrant workers in the Middle East.
“The government should regulate the agencies taking our girls, sisters and mothers to the Middle East. There is a need for an intensive multi-sectoral engagement with the ministries of Foreign Affairs, Interior, Immigration, and Labour and Social Protection to substantially work on a long-term solution,” they said.

They at the same time asked the Ministry of Labour to provide them with a list of the agencies and number of Kenyans working in the Gulf to enable them to understand the agreement between the ministry and the agencies.
“We are demanding a statement from the ministries of Labour, Interior and Immigration how many of our girls are working in Saudi Arabia and other Asian countries and the status of their safety,” Ms Wamuchomba said
