A Kenyan family is grieving deeply after their daughter, Jesca Kashutu Ziro, who had gone to Saudi Arabia to work as a domestic helper, tragically passed away.
The family revealed that they were never informed about her death, and Jesca was buried by her host family without their consent. This lack of communication has left them heartbroken and frustrated.
Jesca had been in Saudi Arabia for only about four months before her sudden death. Her family says that the host family did not provide any explanation about the circumstances surrounding her passing.
The incident has sparked outrage and sympathy online, with social media users expressing support for Jesca’s family.
Many highlighted the challenges and unsafe conditions that Kenyan workers sometimes face abroad and called for better protection and respect for citizens working far from home.
Jesca’s family is urging the Kenyan government and relevant authorities to investigate her death. They want answers about why they were not informed and why proper procedures were not followed.
Their hope is that by speaking out, no other family will have to endure the same pain.
For now, the family continues to mourn, while also advocating for greater accountability and protection for Kenyan workers overseas.
