In the Statement, the Committee should explain the following- (1) Explain whether the bilateral agreement between Kenya and Saudi Arabia with improved terms of employment, rights and privileges of domestic workers and their employers has been implemented.

(3) State whether the domestic workers in Saudi Arabia have access to their wages, free housing, health insurance, transport and food as the agreement has set out. (4) State whether the recruitment agencies are licensed and held accountable for the wellbeing of the domestic workers.
