Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Labour export companies have decried loopholes in the government management of labour export, which they say has paralysed their work.<\/p>\n

Mr Baker Akantambira, the chairperson of Uganda Association of Recruitment Agencies (UAERA), said illegal traffickers have taken advantage of loopholes in government systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have enemies in the sector and those are the human traffickers, unfortunately, the responsible persons put all the blame on UAERA companies. We have our directors incarcerated for doing everything. We ask you [government] to free them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Five remanded for aggravated human trafficking, kidney harvesting<\/p>\n

Mr Akantambira cited a major challenge posed by girls who travel abroad as sex workers. He also decried the non-existent monitoring framework and the bureaucracies in government offices.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can collaborate and have an integrated monitoring framework,\u201d Mr Akantambira added.<\/p>\n

Mr Jorem Oitit, the chief executive officer of Trustin Company Ltd, said: \u201cThe people we take abroad for work do not understand their contracts . You take someone today and after three days, they want to come back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ask the government to increase the training centres, so that these people can access information,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Oitit also encouraged those seeking employment abroad to use recruitment agencies to ensure they are in safe hands.<\/p>\n

Training centres<\/p>\n

Ms Sumayah Nsambu Quraish, an administrative officer at the Kawempe Training Centre, said they don\u2019t have enough skilling centres for women going abroad.<\/p>\n

Ms Amelia Kyambadde, who was representing the Office of the President, said: \u201cGovernment should engage labour companies while drafting the labour externalisation bilateral agreements and avail them to the public.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that the government would put up more trainings centres to teach people about labour export.<\/p>\n

Ms Phoebe Kukkiriza, a former domestic worker in Saudi Arabia, decried how housemaids are abandoned in foreign countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember when I was working in Saudi Arabia, the boss did not allow me to use my phone and yet it was indicated in the contract. My time for rest was also violated,\u201d Ms Kukkiriza said.<\/p>\n

Mr Milton Turyasiima, a representative of the Labour ministry, said there are 145,000 people working in Saudi Arabia, contributing about $1.2 billion as revenue for economic development.<\/p>\n

The event attracted more than 90 labour export companies.<\/p>\n
