Expat Hires In Government Sector Raise Ire

Member of the Kuwaitization and Employment Committee of the National Assembly, MP Khalil Al-Saleh revealed the committee will meet next Monday to chalk out its future strategy. He said the nod from the Parliament to his request to form this committee in itself, is a big plus and a big step forward to activate the parliamentary role in this direction.

Al-Saleh expressed the hope that the government will cooperate with the committee to solve this thorny issue. He pointed out it is time to stop the appointments of expatriates in the government sector once and for all. Saleh explained the committee will work to replace non-Kuwaitis with Kuwaitis until the problem of unemployment is solved.

He added, statistics show a steady increase in the recruitment of expatriates in the government sector. This percentage rose to 30 in 2016 from an increase of 2.5 percent in 2012. Saleh stressed on the need to find employment opportunities for Kuwaitis. He pointed out the reality proves lack of comprehensiveness and efficacy of previous government solutions.
