A record 93 Kenyans have died in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries since 2019, Government records indicate. “Since January 2019, the ministry has received reports of 93 deaths of migrant workers in the Gulf region,” the PS said. Osotsi however disputed the figures saying the numbers downplays the real problem facing Kenyans in the Gulf region. He demanded that the ministry gives a comprehensive response detailing all cases of deaths of Kenyans in the region. The lawmaker also questioned the process of recruiting the agencies saying it contributes to the inhumane treatment Kenyans are facing in Saudi.
