Mercy Sakim: A family in Kalimani village in Kangundo sub-county, Machakos, is appealing to the government to help bring back the body of their daughter who died in Saudi Arabia almost two months ago.

According to the family, 28-year-old Mercy Sakim died in Saudi Arabia sometime in August, under unclear circumstances. Her mother Agnes Kiloko is devastated.

โ€œI had been in constant communication with my daughter until August when she suddenly cut communication. Thatโ€™s the last time we spoke on phone,โ€ she said.

โ€œMy daughter went to Saudi Arabia to work. I donโ€™t know much; the only information I have is that she suffered an acid attack, which is what I hear caused her death,โ€ added the distraught mother.

She now wants the government to help them bring Mercy home so they can accord her a decent burial.

According to Mama Kiloko, her daughter has left behind a seven-year-old son, a child she had been supporting.

“I donโ€™t know what to tell the little boy because he used to talk to his mother almost daily. He keeps asking me, telling me he wants to talk to the mother,โ€ she added.

The family has described Mercy as a kind, jovial woman โ€“ who loved people.

โ€œI have lost my only daughter. It hurts me that my child is no more. Please help me bring her home,โ€ she pleaded.

Mercyโ€™s elder brother, Michael Kimali Sammy, described her as a kind and loving person.

โ€œWe received news sometime in August this year that Mercy had been hospitalised after someone splashed acid on her,โ€ said Sammy.

Speaking about the incident, Machakos Senator Agnes Kavindu said it was sad for young people to travel to Saudi Arabia only to return home in a casket.

She called on the government to help bring Mercy’s body home, specifically imploring the Kenyan embassy in Saudi Arabia to intervene on the matter.
