Central region youth MP, Sarah Babirye Kityo.

The Youth Member of Parliament for the Central Region, Sarah Babirye, and a Human Rights Lecturer at Makerere University, Robert Kakuru have clashed over the ban on the export of domestic workers abroad.
This is after Kakuru called for the permanent ban on the recruitment of casual laborers and domestic workers going abroad.

Government effected a ban on exportation of labour this year after many complaints over mistreatment of Ugandan domestic workers especially girls in Arab countries.
Kakuru says that casual laborers should go as professionals with clearance from government.
He says reports indicate that recruitment agencies within Uganda lose mandate of the persons they take abroad for work and that those who escape and return home after experiencing mistreatment also face threats from labour agency officials.

However, Babirye says that government should instead lift a ban on the exportation of domestic workers.
She says that the more the country puts a ban on recruitment of maids for export, the more they are taking that risk to escape to go illegally to work abroad.

Some of the domestic workers who government earlier this year returned to Uganda over what they said was harrassement while in Saudi Arabia.

Babirye says government should instead give orders to Ugandan embassies and missions abroad to receive Ugandans in various countries before they  take up jobs and negotiate with their employers such that when they face mistreatment, they are immediately returned.
