When 24-year-old Mumbejja Mulwana's contract at her workplace in the capital Kampala expired last year, she had no option but to approach one of the middlemen in the labour export market to try and get her whichever job was available in one of the Arab countries.
Equipped with her passport, Ms Mulwana approached the middleman who suggested she pays about $200 (Sh20,648). Within a week she had already been taken for a medical examination.
