The body of a Kenyan Muslim woman who died under unclear circumstances in Saudi Arabia in July arrived in Kenya on Monday.
Mwanakombo Athman died aged 39 in the country where she had worked for nine months, and will be buried in Msambweni, Kwale county on Tuesday.
Her body had been detained at a morgue over unpaid dues. Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko's rescue team offered to transport it to Kwale following its arrival in Nairobi at about 10am.
Another Kenyan, Salama Nyamvula, who also died under unclear circumstances in Abu Dhabi, UAE, was buried last week in Kilifi county's Mtwapa area.
Mombasa Nominated Senator Emma Mbura earlier said she received a distress call from a woman in Riyadh, saying she reported that her boss had threatened her.
"Nimepokea simu kutoka kwa dada Bahati Karisa Thoya alieko Riyadh. Ameambiwa na boss wake apige simu nyumbani Kilifi na aage watu wake maana kesho atauwawa," she wrote on her Facebook page in Kiswahili.
"Agent yuko Uganda House, 2nd floor, Alsayar office, Nairobi. Let us all try to save this lady before it's too late. Kindly share."
This translates to: "I have received a distress call from Bahati Karisa Thoya who is in Riyadh. She has been told by her boss to call her family in Kilifi and bid them goodbye as she will be killed tomorrow. Her agent can be found at Uganda House, 2nd floor, Alsayar office, Nairobi."
Several leaders have asked the state to launch investigations into the deaths of Kenyans working abroad, in the Middle East in particular.
