The woman, who has not been identified, shared her harrowing experience, explaining that her employer threw her out with nothing but the clothes she was wearing.
She was left without even basic essentials such as underwear, and her personal belongings were confiscated.
The incident occurred after the woman had been working for her employer for three years.
She tried to quit her job but was instead left homeless and helpless.
She has since been stuck at a deportation detention facility for the past six months without pay.
Her employer did not process the necessary paperwork for her return to Kenya, leaving her unable to fly home.
The woman also revealed that her employer kept all her belongings, including her phone and clothes.
In her distress, the woman accused Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, Alfred Mutua, of misleading the public about the availability of jobs in the Gulf.
She expressed frustration, questioning why Kenyan workers are being mistreated while the government continues to promote job opportunities in the region.
Larry Madowo shared the woman’s story on social media, attempting to contact the employer but receiving no response.
The Kenyan embassy's role in assisting its citizens abroad has also been called into question, with many expressing disappointment at the lack of support for Kenyan workers facing exploitation and abuse in foreign countries.
This incident is part of a broader pattern of mistreatment of Kenyan domestic workers in the Gulf.
Many workers have shared similar stories of exploitation, poor working conditions, and lack of support from the Kenyan government.
The case has sparked outrage on social media, with calls for better protection and support for Kenyan nationals working abroad.
The Kenyan government, in collaboration with the Saudi authorities, must take immediate action to protect the rights and welfare of its citizens working in the Gulf.
