Saudi court awards SHS 270m to Ugandan domestic worker Nakintu

A court in Saudi Arabia has awarded are Ugandan domestic worker Shs 270 million for the illegal harvest of her right kidney while at King Fahad hospital in Jeddah.

Nakintu lost her kidney when she was admitted after getting involved in an accident with her employer Saad Dhafer…

The Saudi court…found the employer culpable for causing the accident in which Nakintu was injured.

Nakintu has been in the news for losing a kidney in a scheme allegedly orchestrated by the proprietors of…Nile Treasure Gate, a labor export firm and Dhafer.

…Nile Treasure through their lawyer,… insists that Nakintu was involved in an accident on March 20, 2020, less than four months after leaving Uganda.

…they have since been following the issue and even sued Dhafer to compensate Nakintu until the court delivered its verdict on January 30, 2022, awarding the victim Shs270m minus legal costs.

...they are already working with security agencies in Uganda and Saudi Arabia to establish how Nakintu's kidney was removed during the one year she spent in the hospital under treatment.

The medical report shows that she sustained external bruises, bruises of the lungs with a simple bloody air gathering inside, liver bruises, thrombosis of the right kidney artery, pelvic fractures and pelvic bone injuries

ever since Mulago National Referral hospital and police confirmed that Nakintu's right kidney had been removed, police working with other security agencies have so far arrested for proprietors and managers of Nile Treasure Gate company.

Police and immigration officials are trying to establish the circumstances, under which her kidney was removed if at all she was taking to the hospital after an accident.

[Shs 270 million = approx. USD76700.]
