A Kenyan family is in deep sorrow after their daughter, Jesca Kashutu Ziro, who had travelled to Saudi Arabia for work as a domestic helper, passed away under tragic circumstances.
The family claims that Ziro was allegedly abused by her employer’s wife and children before her sudden death. They also say they were shocked to later learn that she was secretly buried without their consent.
Jesca had only been in Saudi Arabia for about four months before her untimely death. Her family says they were not informed in time, and no clear explanation was given regarding the circumstances of her death.
The lack of communication has left the family devastated and struggling to come to terms with the loss. They are now demanding answers and hoping to repatriate her remains back to Kenya.
The tragic incident has sparked outrage and sympathy online, with many people expressing concern over the treatment of Kenyan workers abroad.
Social media users have highlighted the harsh and sometimes unsafe conditions many domestic workers face in foreign countries, calling for stronger protection and accountability.
Jesca’s family is urging the Kenyan government and relevant authorities to investigate the matter thoroughly. They want clarity on what happened and why they were not informed before the burial took place.
Their main goal is to ensure that no other Kenyan family experiences similar pain and that workers abroad are treated with dignity and respect.
For now, the family continues to mourn as they seek justice, truth, and closure over the heartbreaking loss.
