Moe Planning To Appoint Some Expats In Ministry
Following reports of Undersecretary of Ministry of Higher Education’s refusal to increase the salaries of several expatriate employees of the ministry, it has been revealed that the same ministry is planning to appoint some expatriates. Such an action is regarded as a violation of the Kuwaitization policy.
According to an informed source, the Assistant Undersecretary for Administrative Affairs of the ministry contacted the General Department of Criminal Evidences affiliated to Ministry of Interior, and Ministry of Health to issue character certificates, medical reports and certificates of physical fitness for several male and female expatriates as part of completion of the procedures for their employment in the ministry. He said this action clearly violates the decision of the Council of Ministers, which instructed the need to prioritize Kuwaitis for appointments, followed by non-Kuwaitis with Kuwaiti mothers.
Evaluation
The source explained that most of the vacant positions are in the section that handles evaluation of certificates, but the Council of Ministers clearly stated that employing expatriates should be done in limited and rare cases when the above mentioned categories of candidates are unavailable.
He indicated that such a decision was considered necessary when the government realized there were too many expatriate employees in the public sector, which was resulting in waste of public funds at the expense of citizens.
The ministry had formed the committee with the aim of eradicating the phenomenon of fake and bogus certificates, especially since there were several complaints in that regard. It became evident that Ministry of Higher Education approved certificates in medicine and engineering from unaccredited and suspicious universities.
