A lady says that her boss had her nurse his dogs under duress and recorded the act.
In Saudi Arabia, where the claimed event occurred, the mother had relocated after leaving her native Kenya to work.
President William Ruto's administration has now been urged by Kenya's Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli to outlaw employment agencies that coordinate the transfer of Kenyan employees to Saudi Arabia.
On Saturday, October 8, Atwoli said that he had received a frightening video from a Saudi Arabian lady who claimed that her employer had forced her to nurse their pets.
"She left her husband and children in Kenya two months after giving birth," Atwoli told NTV as he displayed a video of the woman breastfeeding.
"When they realised she can breastfeed, the employer gave her a job of breastfeeding puppies."
To alleviate the predicament of Kenyans in Saudi Arabia and other gulf nations, the COTU leader advocated for multilateral diplomacy.
"This is indirect slavery," Atwoli declared. "I want to implore our administration to follow in the footsteps of President Kibaki's government under Phylis Kandie.
"She banned all employment agencies in Kenya.
"Let this issue be a government-to-government.
"Let Kenya negotiate with Saudi Arabia on terms and conditions of service… so that our people can do decent jobs and not a job of breastfeeding dogs."
According to Atwoli, Kenyans are being denied respect and dignity as a result of the horrible behaviour occurring in Saudi Arabia.
"It deprives us of our own citizenship as Kenyans, who are citizens of a free and independent nation," he continued.
"I want to make a plea to the government to outlaw all employment agencies and evaluate concerns surrounding independent work, as recommended by the International Labour Organization."
