Homa Bay MP Peter Kaluma has called out the UAE ambassador to Kenya over the death of a Kenyan worker in the gulf 

The legislator took to Twitter on Friday asking the ambassador to explain to Kenyans what is happening.

"UAE Ambassador to Kenya should tell us what's happening or leave the country! @DrAlfredMutua," Kaluma said. 

This follows the death of Gloria Mutuku from Makueni county who had gone to the gulf seeking greener pastures as a domestic worker. 

The deceased died in early January while receiving treatment at a hospital in the gulf.

Gloria is said to have become delusional while working in Saudia and had to be treated.

Her death was first made public by Grace Wachuru—Gloria's agent in the gulf.

Gloria died just five months after landing the job in Saudia Arabia. 

Authorities have continued to raise concerns over the death of Kenyan workers in the gulf country.

The family of the deceased has appealed to the government to help them fly her body home for the final send-off. 

Last year Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua visited the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to discuss the plight of Kenyan workers.

While responding to a question during his vetting for the CS position, Mutua promised to prioritise the safety of Kenyan workers in the gulf once he is sworn into office.
