Kuwait to sack expat employees at Ministry of Public Works

Kuwait’s Ministry of Public Works has decided to terminate the service of 80 expatriate employees, as the country is seeking to curtail hiring of migrant workers, a local newspaper said Wednesday.

The ministry’s undersecretary Esmail Al Felakawi has issued the decision to end the service of the 80 as of March, Al Anba reported.

The ministry aims at implementing a Kuwaitisation plan, empowering national employees, the official said.

The terminations comprise advisers, accountants, engineers and other expatriates working on temporary or special contracts, the official elaborated.
