A Kenyan woman who died under unclear circumstances in Saudi Arabia on July 7 was buried in Msambweni, Kwale county on Tuesday.
The body of Mwanakombo Mohammed, 39, had been detained by her employer; her family said they were informed of her death through a Kenyan agent.
Widower Omar Bakari said Mohammed's employer claimed she died after an illness. She had worked in the country for nine months.
“It is not clear why they did not inform us when she fell sick and was admitted. We have not received the autopsy report,” he said.
Bakari said the medical report sent to them was in Arabic. Mohammed had signed a two-year contract but was not paid her dues, he told the press and called for justice.
A relative noted that Bakari is unemployed and that he and Mohammed had eight children.
Another Kenyan, Salama Nyamvula, who also died under mysterious circumstances in Abu Dhabi, UAE, was buried last week in Kilifi county's Mtwapa area.
Mombasa Nominated Senator Emma Mbura said she received a distress call from a woman in Riyadh - Bahati Karisa - saying she reported that her boss had threatened her.
Mbura said: “She told me the mistreatment began in June. She wants to come back home. We must act fast to save her. We want her back home, not her body."
Karisa, a mother of six from Malindi, left Kenya for Riyadh in Saudi Arabia in February. The agent who allegedly took her to the country did not answer calls on Tuesday.
Several leaders have asked the state to launch investigations into the deaths of Kenyans working abroad, in the Middle East in particular.
