In Saudi Arabia, however, domestic service workers (cleaning persons, house drivers, sand gardeners) or agricultural workers are not covered by the labour laws provisions. Joyce Ndesa, 30, has worked in Saudi Arabia for seven years since she was 23. JOB APPLICATIONBefore she secured an opportunity to work in Saudi Arabia, an interview was conducted by a Kenyan agency, which she successfully passed.
