A family from Nyamache sub-county has asked the State through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help them bring back their 21-years-old daughter who had gone to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in search of ‘good’ job.
Speaking in their home in Rigena village, Maurice Ndemo, father to the lady said her daughter has been making desperate calls from abroad asking them to do all they can to get her out of the country.
He said that Alice Ndemo had gone to Saudi Arabia in September 2014 and has since reported to be mistreated by her employer who is allegedly threatening to kill her.
“Ever since she left the country through the aid of her friend, she is totally unsettled. Yesterday (Wednesday) she called me using three different numbers saying her life was in danger. That is why we called an urgent family meeting to raise funds to get my daughter out of the country,” explained Ndemo.
He added that the money they were able to raise from the family members still could not match even a quarter of the total amount required to bring their daughter back home.
Ndemo asked the Ministry of foreign affairs and Kenyan Embassy in Riyadh to liaise with the family to rescue her only daughter.
“The Kenyan government has an obligation to protect its citizens wherever they are. We call upon relevant authorities to intervene as soon as possible,” said James Gechanga, a relative.
Cases of Kenyan being killed in Saudi Arabia are exponentially increasing despite the government warning those in the country to report to the Kenyan Embassy in that country for help.
