A family in Nyamira county is seeking answers over the untimely death of their dear daughter, Millicent Moraa Obwocha, who sadly died in Saudi Arabia.

In an interview with Citizen TV, the husband of the late Moraa shared that the agency that took her there said that the young lady died as a result of a brain freeze after falling from a roof.

According to the family, Moraa had repeatedly complained of unwanted sexual advances from her boss, and she asked the agency that had taken her there to find her another employer.

Moraa hatches plan to escape

"Her employer requested her back, promising to quit the advances, but that never happened," shared Obuya.

According to Obuya, Moraa hatched a plan to escape with her Kenyan agent, Gilbert. She even told him that she was waiting outside the gate, which was the last time her husband heard from her.

It has been two months since the family received the news of Moraa's death on June 23, and the body is yet to be repatriated. The agency has assured them that all the payments have been made.

"For the last week, the agent has not been picking up my calls, and he told me that he is also in Kenya, just like me and is waiting," said Moraa's devastated father.

Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, a woman identified as Susan Kalekye, who also repatriated her mum's body from Saudi Arabia, sympathised with the situation and asked for help.

"Tomorrow I will call the director of foreign affairs and refer them to her please I would also want to know more about it so I don't fumble when they ask me questions. She will need to know if Moraa went with a certified agency so that she can follow up with them and ask where or if they will help them; she will also ask for a picture of her passport," said Kalekye.
