Kuwaiti parliament discusses domestic workers file

The National Assembly committee of health, social and labor affairs discussed on Monday two draft laws on domestic workers and the establishment of closed joint stock companies concerned with bringing and hiring domestic workers.
The meeting was attended by representatives from the Ministry of Interior and the public authority for workforce.
MP Sadoun Hammad told the press following the session that the draft laws would lead to drastic reforms in the domestic workers system and its side effects that cause much trouble to Kuwaiti families.
During the parliamentary meeting, it was agreed to thoroughly scrutinize the draft laws for the next two weeks before referring them to the National Assembly for final approval.
