Saturday, February 07, 2026 - The Government has confirmed that the Kenyan housegirl caught in a viral video>>> being assaulted in Turkey is now safe.
In a statement on Friday, February 6th, Principal
Secretary for Diaspora Affairs Roselyne Njogu said the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs acted immediately upon receiving details of the incident on February 4th,
2026.
“I’d like to confirm that the Kenya Embassy in Ankara, upon
receiving this info of this assault on 4th Feb 2026, immediately
swung into action to assist our national,” Njogu stated.
The victim, who had been working as a house help, was
allegedly assaulted by her employer after demanding unpaid wages.
Njogu confirmed that the woman received medical care, was
paid her full salary along with outstanding arrears, and was supported in
pursuing legal assistance.
“She is now safe. Thank you to the Kenyan Embassy in Ankara
and the State Department for Diaspora Affairs for your service to Kenyans,” she
added.
Njogu urged Kenyans in the diaspora to report cases of
distress through official channels, highlighting the availability of a 24‑hour
response centre.
The incident mirrors previous cases involving Kenyan
domestic workers overseas, particularly in the Middle East and parts of Europe,
where reports of assault, withheld wages, and confiscated passports have
surfaced.
A recent New York Times investigation revealed that some
Kenyan politicians were allegedly running employment agencies to profit from
sending workers abroad, despite widespread abuse.
This disturbing video of a Kenyan house girl in Turkey being beaten like a dog by her employer after they refused to pay her, has left me wondering why have @MusaliaMudavadi,@SingoeiAKorir,@roselinenjogu and @DrAlfredMutua neglected Kenyans working abroad? pic.twitter.com/TPQhDDKgQE
