    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to answer- (a) Yes, the Minister is aware that the case of Ms. Irene Njoki Muchiri--- The said person worked in Saudi Arabia as a househelp for one year and four months and subsequently ran away from her employer due to mistreatment. Since then, one year and nine months have passed and her case was then reported to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in September 2010. (b) It should be noted that the Saudia labour laws allow an employer to take custody of the employee’s passport on arrival and when they have secured a job. The same passport is usually released by the employer when the employee leaves the Kingdom on completion of the contract or as per the earlier agreed arrangements. In addition, for one to leave the Kingdom, he or she must have an exit visa which is normally issued by the employer or the relevant Saudia authorities. (c) In this specific case, she could not travel back to Kenya because she did not have an exit visa."
