Agents recruiting Kenyans to work as domestic workers in the Middle East came under sharp criticism after claiming that women are mistreated due to a lack of discipline.
Francis Wahome, the chairperson of the Association of Skilled Migrant Agencies in Kenya (ASMAK) said most girls are mistreated for being hardheaded and failing to obey their employers.
"Our girls have no discipline. And I am sorry to say this. Why do you think that a Saudi Arabian would pay a lot of money until the housemaid gets there only to mistreat her? That is a wrong word, we should not be discriminating against these people," Wahome said.
