Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli has called on the government to ban employment agencies that recruit domestic workers to Middle East countries.

Atwoli, who was speaking from his home in Kajiado County, was responding after viewing a video of a Kenyan woman breastfeeding puppies in Saudi Arabia.

The Standard cannot independently verify the authenticity of the video.

In the video, which has since gone viral, the woman disclosed that her employer had asked her to breastfeed the puppies after realizing that she was a new mother.

“She left her husband and children in Kenya two months after giving birth. When they realised she can breastfeed, the employer gave her a job of breastfeeding puppies,” Atwoli told NTV.
