Get to the bottom of Kenyan workers’ woes in Gulf States

Media and the Internet have been awash with reports of Kenyan workers suffering at the hands of callous employers in the Gulf States. It is estimated that more than 55,000 Kenyans work in the Arab world, most of whom are exploited in domestic servitude. 

Only this week, families of 70 Kenyansstranded in Qatar sought help from government and well-wishers after it became apparent that their kin would not get air tickets and travel documents to fly back home.
