Government had earlier this year imposed a temporary ban on Ugandans leaving the Country to seek employment abroad especially Saudi Arabia sighting reports of harassment by employers in those Countries.

The MPs however, say before investigations on the allegations can be concluded, these firms have continued to break the law with the advertisements and recruitment of Ugandans in total disregard of the law.

Rose Mutonyi Masaba the Committee Chairperson on Foreign Affairs.

Rose Mutonyi Masaba, the Committee Chairperson said was to their surprise that the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development (MGLSD) has failed to react to these adverts of which they say are misleading Ugandans hunting for jobs.

It is against this background that the committee resolved to summon officials from Ministry of Gender to appear before them next week and explain a number of issues surrounding this matter, adding that many desperate Ugandans are hunting for risky jobs abroad and need help.

Mutonyi said the Committee also plans to summon the agencies that claim to be having licenses to explain how they follow-up Ugandans they send abroad for work because several rumors have come up about on the mistreatment of these workers and the companies that take them never come out to explain.
