Masaka woman has died in Saudi Arabia. The woman was reportedly recruited by Creative Group International Ltd, and died mysteriously in Saudi Arabia, The Drone Media can authoritatively reveal.
Judith Namulangwa, 33 years old, according to her brother John Bukenya, was born in Mukungwe, Bukoto East, Masaka District to Mr and Mrs Emmanuel Lubega and Vicencia Nasiwa.
Namulangwa was recruited by Creative Group International Ltd. which sent her to Saudi Arabia to work as house maid. According to John Bukenya, Namulangwa left in November, 2018.
Unfortunately, she soon started complaining of torture by her employers in February, 2019 and her relatives informed creative Group International Ltd, which in turn asked them to buy air ticket. Bukenya says he paid sh1.7m for air ticket only to be told Namulangwa had died on her way to hospital.
Bukenya had not believed it until he received a phone call from Creative Group International Ltd, informing him that he should meet the bosses of the company to discuss about the death of Namulangwa.
Upon meeting bosses of Creative Group International Ltd at Lungujja Police Post, a one Hajjat Nuriat, told Bukenya that Namulangwa had died on her to hospital in Saudi Arabia.
She further explained that the company had removed her from where she was working to treat her but she succumbed to death before reaching the hospital.
However, it is now two months since she died but officials at the ministry are tossing relatives up and down and not telling them the truth.  Bukenya says that before Namulangwa died, she had said that her employers were hell on earth. They were subjecting her to torture and creative Group International Ltd was not bothered to rescue her.
Surprisingly, Creative Group International Ltd asked relatives to pay money for air ticket, but even when it was paid they never acted. Funny enough they did not refund it even when they know she died.
The money was paid to transport a live person, but she died. Bukenya says he has not been helped by authorities in the ministry responsible. He further says that one official intimated him that Ugandan Embassy in Saudi Arabia failed to agree with the Saudi Arabia Embassy.
The return of Judith Namulangwa body remains a mystery as her death because the officials are comprimized.
