Ms. Rona: There is limited funding of @Mglsd_UG that is mandated to regulate. Recruitment companies pay a lot of money for licences but less is ploughed back to the ministry. There is need for more liason officers in Uganda Embassies in Middle East #ExternalisationLabourUg

.@BwoweIvan : There is need for an independent law to deal with #ExternalisationLabourUg. This is a multisectoral issue. There is also need for travel insurance for distressed employees without first attacking the labour companies

Ms. Rona: The most vulnerable workers in Saudi are domestic workers. Their employees confiscate the passports when they learn that the domestic workers are showing signs of filing complaint with the Ugandan Embassy or run away #ExternalisationLabourUg

Ms. Rona from Recruitment Agency: The biggest challenge with #ExternalisationLabourUg , the laws in the foreign countries are not favourable to our people. There has been a challenge of enforcing contracts
