According to Diana, she left Kenya to look for greener pastures in Saudi Arabia only to end up regretting the move.

"I left Kenya to go to Saudi Arabia with the hopes of getting a better life and to be honest, mine was just the tip of the iceberg, people are suffering there. My friends are suffering,” she said.

Diana appealed to the Government of Kenya to help Kenyans working in Saudi Arabia as they are suffering.

"I plead with the government to rescue our people. They are psychologically and mentally tortured. It's a shame being told that there is nothing the government can do," Diana said.


She emphasised that there were more Kenyans she left behind who are suffering in Saudi Arabia and also disclosed the shocking detail that some of them are not in sound mental health at the moment.

"I'm fortunate that I received support from people, but there are those who are not mentally okay as they don't know their names or their surroundings," Diana said.
