Moci Plans To Apply A New Law On Recruiting Household Labour

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry says it plans to firmly apply a new law on recruiting household labour, a senior official warned on Saturday.

The ministry recently set the cost of employing domestic labour through a company at KD 990 ($3,267), and KD 390 ($1,287) for individuals. Strict penalties will be imposed on recruitment companies that do not commit to the ceiling imposed by the ministry, Undersecretary Khalid Al-Fadhel vowed in a press statement. The penalties could amount to a shutdown of the office and the confiscation of its license, Al-Fadhel stressed.

The ministry had granted recruitment offices a fortnight to offer their own cost estimation for recruitments so as to avoid any arbitrary action against them. It found a huge gap between their cost and that estimated by the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry.
