Philippines Labor Attaché and Head of the Migrant Workers Office (MWO) – State of Kuwait, Attorney Manuel M. Dimaano, said the recently announced procedures for companies and individuals who wish to bring in Filipino workers to work in the private sector is based on instructions issued by the competent authorities in Manila, reports Al-Qabas daily. The daily added, the main aim is to reduce the documentary cycle.
Commenting on the “requirements for recruiting new, specialized workers for the private sector,” the labor attaché said the new requests will be governed by the terms and conditions of Kuwaiti laws.” He indicated that the steps announced for the recruitment of private sector workers have nothing to do with the existing consultations concerning domestic workers, while these requirements are being implemented in all offices of Filipino migrant workers in the GCC countries.
He stated that the new contracts and requirements have improved conditions and brought relief to employers in employment offices and companies seeking to hire Filipino workers. He pointed out that the implementation of the new procedures in Kuwait was suspended until the completion of consultations with all relevant parties, reaffirming that “the new controls have nothing to do with sending domestic workers to Kuwait.”
