He added that he will have DCI involved in investigating the suspicious deaths of Kenyans in the Gulf.
"It is unfortunate that they are being mistreated. We have lost 85 Kenyans in the last three months. This is because there are systematic failure in recruitment. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is friendly and is not involved," he said.
"There has been a lot of victim-blaming and if cleared, I will ensure to work with the Labour Ministry to ensure stringent measures are put in place to stop this .We will investigate the deaths and will send a message ensure that the perpetrators are brought to book."
