Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) boss Francis Atwoli has called for immediate action after a disturbing video of a Kenyan woman breastfeeding dogs in Saudi Arabia caused agitation.
In the video making rounds on social media, the lady is heard crying out to Kenyans to help her come back.
Several puppies are seen sucking her breasts.
The woman is said to have left behind a two-months old baby and traveled to the Middle East country to search for greener pastures but, instead of doing the househelp job she was hired for, her employer is said to have tasked her with breastfeeding the dogs under threats.
Atwoli now wants President Willim Ruto to ban all agencies responsible for connecting Kenyans to jobs in Saudia.
“This is what I have been saying, this is indirect slavery, I want to appeal to our government to do what Mwai Kibaki did. With Phylis Kandie as the Minister of Labor, he banned all employment agencies that export labour,” he said.
“We better as Kenyans remain the way we are but with our respect and dignity instead of suffering in Saudi. This is indirect slavery,” he added.
