Why I broke down in tears – Saudi Arabia maid impregnated by boss narrates ordeal

A Kenyan lady, Faith Wambui, who worked as a maid in Saudi Arabia, has come forward to share her traumatic ordeal of being impregnated by her Saudi Arabian boss.

Speaking exclusively to Tuko, the lady revealed the agonizing challenges she faced, including deprivation of food, sleep, and exploitation.

According to the lady, she embarked on a journey to Saudi Arabia with the assistance of her elder sister.

Adding to her torment, the lady revealed the treacherous actions of her boss’s brother, who cunningly manipulated her vulnerabilities.

He resorted to deceitful tactics, including hiding food from her and exploiting her desperation by offering monetary assistance.

“He would bring me some rice and soda. Sometimes, he would give me money, which I would later ask him to send to my family as my first three-month salary was going to my agent.” she added.

The lady sadly revealed that she was forced to have an affair with him, which led to her becoming pregnant.
