Licences of 10 recruitment firms cancelled


The Ministry of Labour has terminated the licences of 10 manpower agencies recruiting housemaids for violating the labour law.

The decision follows a stringent and continuous evaluation process launched by the Ministry last year.

Besides the companies facing closure, as many as 21 agencies have sought permission from the Ministry to voluntarily wind up their business, a senior official disclosed yesterday, while announcing the results of the latest evaluation conducted by the Ministry over the past two months.

The Ministry conducts the assessment every six months and classifies the agencies based on their performance. Only agencies recruiting housemaids are subjected to this evaluation, said Fawaz Al Rees, director of the Recruitment Department at the Ministry said at a press conference yesterday.
