The disturbing case of a Kenyan cab driver working in Dubai has once again raised concerns about the safety and welfare of Kenyans seeking work outside the country.

The victim, identified as Brian Kiplimo, went to the Middle East only two months ago hoping to improve his life. Instead, he found himself fighting for survival after a rogue client attacked him while he was inside his vehicle.

A video recorded on November 8 shows Kiplimo speaking with the client at around 5:58 am Middle Eastern time.

They agree on the trip, and the client enters the cab. Everything appears normal at first, but the situation changes quickly when the client shifts to the back seat and suddenly holds Kiplimo in a chokehold.

Early reports indicate that the assault happened after Kiplimo rejected an attempt by the client to touch him.

The attack left him injured and he was rushed to the hospital, where he is now receiving treatment.

His family back in Kenya is deeply worried, not only about his health but also about the legal process in Dubai.

They say they don’t know how he can find justice under UAE laws, and efforts to file a complaint with the cab company have not been successful.

The situation is even more complicated because Kiplimo cannot leave Dubai.

His employer is reportedly holding his documents, including his passport, leaving him trapped at a time when he needs help the most.

Although the incident has been reported to authorities in Dubai, the family says no meaningful updates on the case have been shared with them.

By the time this article was prepared, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had not issued a statement, despite growing pressure from Kenyans online urging the government to do more to protect its citizens working abroad.

This assault comes just days after Kiambu Senator Karung’o wa Thang’wa raised concerns about Kenyan mothers stranded in Saudi Arabia after losing their jobs.

The State Department for Diaspora Affairs later explained that there is a set procedure that allows such individuals to return home, but it is often not followed properly.

Kiplimo’s case now adds to the growing list of troubling experiences faced by Kenyans overseas, renewing calls for stronger systems to safeguard migrant workers.
