Ministry Has Contacted Mofa To Determine The Real Cost Of Recruiting Domestic Workers

23 May 2017 Kuwait

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Khalid Al-Jarrah Al- Sabah disclosed that the ministry has contacted Ministry of Foreign Affairs to determine the real cost of recruiting domestic workers.

In response to parliamentary questions, the minister said the procedure was necessary to serve as a method for specifying the real cost and fixing the commission value to be collected by domestic labor offices and companies, as well as for activating the role of Ministry of Commerce and Industry in line with the Consumer Protection Law.

He declared that the high cost for recruiting domestic workers is due to greed of some recruitment office owners who are struggling to sustain monopoly in the domestic labor market to enable them in raising commission.

Sheikh Khalid Al-Jarrah explained that some offices in countries from where domestic labor is recruited pay certain amounts to the workers and include it in the cost of recruitment. Some of those offices determine the cost of recruitment and increase it, because the rate of available supply is less than the need of the market.
