Sad Photo Of Frenda Jelangat

 ATTENTION TO THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS We wish to draw urgent attention to the case of Frenda Jelangat from Cheptiret, Uasin Gishu County, who is reportedly facing severe hardship in Saudi Arabia. Frenda travelled to Saudi Arabia in search of better opportunities to help her family and her children, but after working for only one month, she was allegedly denied her salary.  This unfortunate situation has pushed her into depression and caused serious mental distress. Disturbing reports and images circulating online show Frenda being tied to a bed, a clear indication of the deteriorating state of her wellbeing. We call upon the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, under PS Dr Korir Sing’oei, and the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, under Hon Kate K Kirui, to intervene swiftly and facilitate the safe return of Frenda Jelangat back home to Kenya. No Kenyan should endure such suffering abroad. Bring Frenda Jelangat home.

I will leave it at that.
