Nambooze made the disclosure on the threat to her life when she was meeting over 50 victims of exportation of labour in the middle East Countries at Parliament.

She told journalists that since then, she has received threats from both known and unknown people which has forced her to write to the speaker to seek protection.

She said she will disclose names of senior government ministers and MPs who own companies involved in the exportation of domestic workers in foreign countries.

She urged the speaker to urgently institute a select committee to investigate the claims in the exportation of domestic workers in outside countries.

Some of the victims have also pinned Middle East Consultants for duping them over Shs 50 million under the pretence of exporting them for labour in addition to hiring security organs to harass them.

Earlier Kadaga had a closed door meeting with officials from the ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development over the increased harassment of Ugandan domestic workers abroad.
