PACI certificate
An official source at the Manpower Public Authority said the certificate issued by the Public Authority of Civil Information (PACI) for properties now appears on screens at the labor departments, and shows the date when the building or office became operational. He said this deals with what is called temporary rental or “phantom rental”, which may have the possibility of bringing in laborers without justification. The authority also called on the traffic department to get approval for registering vehicles related to government contracts on the contract and not in the company’s file, and the number of drivers will be decided according to the number of vehicles registered in the government project.
