Ms. Riziki Luvuno Mambo has been residing in Saudi Arabia since July 2023, when she moved there for employment. However, her family with whom she maintained regular communication claims to have lost contact with her on 12th March 2024, raising concerns about her safety and whereabouts. Following her lack of communication, the family received reports on 23rd April 2024 that she had been arrested and was being held at Jeddah Sawari Police Station in Saudi Arabia. It is alleged that she was found in a state of distress wandering the streets, and appeared to be suffering from a mental health condition. Efforts by the family to secure her repatriation to Kenya have been unsuccessful. It is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations on the following: 1. The circumstance surrounding the arrest of Ms. Riziki Luvuno Mambo by the Saudi Arabian Police. 2. Steps that the relevant government agencies have taken to ascertain her whereabouts, and secure her expediated release from custody and repatriation to Kenya for proper physical and mental care. 3. The measures that the government has taken to guarantee the safety of all Kenyans living and working abroad, to ensure that they receive timely government assistance in cases of distress. Thank you."
