A distraught family from Marani in Kisii County is seeking help to relocate body of their daughter who died under mysterious circumstances in Saudi Arabia.

The family said they need Sh200,000 to transport the body of Winnie Kwamboka from the Gulf country two months after her passing.

Kwamboka’s family at Ebate village are at pains to bring home the body of the 29-year-old back from Saudi Arabia after she allegedly fell from a storey building.

Sophia Bosibori Ontita, Kwamboka’s mother, said in the last conversation with her daughter she was supposed to be home two months ago after expiry of her contract.

She had left the country in 2020.

“Her contract was about to expire. She was okay on Saturday when we spoke. On Sunday, I was informed of her passing,” said Ontita.

“Her colleagues in Saudi Arabia have covered the mortuary fees, but we don’t have the means to fly her remains home,” Kwamboka’s mother added.

“We have not managed to raise the Ksh.200,000 needed to fly her body back,” Stephen Gichana, Kwamboka’s brother, said.

The family seeks help to have the body home and given a befitting send off.
