A group of 70 women have been rescued from human traffickers following a raid by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officers in an institution in Limuru, Kiambu County.
The home care training institution (Gulf Training Institution) is owned by two directors identified as Gatitu Njoroge and Anne Wacu.
The institution is alleged to recruit and train vulnerable women looking for jobs as domestic workers in Gulf countries.
”These women were threatened not to say anything. They fear this Gatitu so much they call him baba and the lady mama. It’s like they have been brainwashed”, stated one Paul Makonge, DCI officer.
Makonge said that the women who all recorded statements revealed that not only were they held against their own will but also served as a brothel.
It is said that the institution did have a business permit from the County Government of Kiambu but did not have a license to operate in Limuru.
”What I was given were business permit documents from the County Government of Kiambu, but here in Limuru they have totally no documents.”
The sleuths issued a stern warning to rogue business operators and human traffickers found misleading Kenyans.
