CSC forwards proposal to council
KUWAIT CITY, March 1: There are all indications the government will suspend the appointment of expatriate personnel in the public sector to reduce the amount of salaries allotted in the budget to maintain international standards, while opening employment opportunities for Kuwaitis, reports Al-Jareeda daily.
The daily quoted a source as saying the Civil Service Commission (CSC) conveyed the purpose to the Council of Ministers, which has in turn issued directives to all ministries and departments for enforcement.
He added the government will appoint expatriates in rare vacant positions where a few Kuwaitis can handle, indicating the government will continue to replace expatriates with Kuwaitis at the average rate of 10 percent annually.
The committee is working to enhance the national manpower, in line with objectives of the Government and Manpower Restructuring Program (GMRP), which has decided to train 3,000 citizens annually for fields in high demand at the labor market, such as administration, information and communications, the source said.

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 12: Expatriate employees should get their passports from their sponsors as the latter have no right to keep such documents, Minister of Social Affairs and Labor Dr Mohammad Al-Afasi said Wednesday after his meeting with the Health, Social Affairs and Labor Committee in the Parliament. Clarifying that expatriate workers have to fulfill certain requirements before leaving their current sponsors, Al-Afasi stressed the need for expatriate employees to obtain a clearance certificate from their current sponsors before joining another company. “Sponsors should refrain from using this condition to put pressure on their employees as they will be forced to issue the clearance certificates in case the workers file a complaint at the ministry. Expatriate workers, on the other hand, should not leave their current sponsors without informing them about their plan to transfer their residence to another sponsor,” he explained.
Revealing the committee continued Wednesday discussions on the proposed amendments to the new private sector labor law, Al-Afasi pointed out the government and Parliament unanimously approved the law during the first reading, but its enactment was delayed due to the dissolution of the Parliament. “Institutions like Kuwait Workers Union, Kuwait Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), and Banks Union have a number of reservations on the law. All parties involved and meet international expectations as the whole nation has been waiting for its ratification for quite a long time,” he opined. |

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 7: In line with a recommendation which was issued by the Labor Affairs Committee, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor is expected to issue a decision before the upcoming week which will grant the expatriate laborers working in the private sector right to transfer to another sponsor without the approval of the current sponsors, reports Al-Anba daily quoting reliable sources.
The sources added the decision will take effect immediately after it is issued. However, the laborer will only be permitted to transfer to another sponsor after he has completed three years with the existing sponsor. Meanwhile, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor recently issued a decision which prevents directors of the Department of Social Care from issuing statements without approval of the ministry’s assistant undersecretary.

KUWAIT CITY, June 13: The Ideal Mother Committee Chairperson Sheikha Fareeha Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah has recommended that all TV programs which depict immorality and have negative impact on the society, particularly the youth, must be stopped, reports Al-Shahed daily. Sheikha Fareha made this statement during a seminar which was organized by the daily entitled “Efforts made by Kuwait to Fight Negative Phenomena”. She called for strategy to be laid down to help the youth spend their leisure time reasonably and responsibly instead of allowing them to be destructive and cause harm to the country. She called upon civil organizations to cooperate with the government to get rid of negative phenomena in the society.
She noted these phenomena are alien to the Kuwaiti culture. She urged the National Assembly to enact a bill that will curb bad habits in the youth such as alcohol consumption and drug addiction. She warned parents of the dangers of overlooking the activities of their children. She said parents should guide and counsel their children from time to time. She grieved over the rate at which travesty and devil worship is spreading among the youth. Some of our leaders complain without taking practical steps to wipe out this undesirable scenario from our society, she indicated. We should help the government to establish medical centers to cure what she called negative habits, and to rehabilitate delinquent youths because some of them desire to change but they need help, the social activist advised.
