has confirmed a significant increase in the numbers of some nationalities, a matter which requires a review of the recruitment process based on the need of Kuwait’s labor market.

distribution and accommodating workers without the intervention of individuals.
‘Maids company soon’: Director of the Residence Affairs Department at the Ministry of Interior, Major-General Talal Ma’arafi said the establishment of a special company to hire domestic workers is almost complete and is expected to go into operation within six months, reports Al-Jarida daily.
Ma’arafi affirmed the project will help eliminate the monopoly exercised by domestic labor offices and create a healthy competition that will help control the cost of hiring domestic workers.
Meanwhile, in other news Ma’arafi strongly denied the ministry intends to grant amnesty to violators of residence law. He disclosed, the recent security checks have seen a considerable number of residence law violators amending their status and paying fines. He said the violators have either to legalize their status or leave the country.
The case of Syrian residence law violators living in Kuwait will be looked from a different angle, but they will not be exempted from paying fines, said Ma’arafi.
He disclosed a new ‘medical treatment visa’ will be issued for people older than 50 after paying a ‘reasonable health insurance’ fee, in a bid to control the number of elderly people who come to receive medical treatment at public hospitals.
