Kenya domestic workers 'slavery' claims not true - Speaker Muturi

National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi. [Mkamburi Mwawasi/Standard]

It is now emerging that claims by over 55,000 Kenyans domestic workers in the gulf of ‘slavery’ could not be true but a result of breaches in their employers’ contracts.

Unemployment has seen many Kenyans seek greener pastures outside the country’s border through agents, resulting in numerous complaints by families whose kins are working overseas of being subjected to inhuman working conditions and torture.
