DOMESTIC LABOUR RECRUITMENT AGENCIES REJECT PHILIPPINES ' CONDITION

  • 02/02/2021

Kuwait City : In the  last few days there were  conflicts that emerged during the meeting between the Kuwaiti and Philippine Federations.The Philippines side put forth a new condition to the memorandum of understanding discussed between the two countries, which is a demand for recruitment agencies to pay a financial guarantee of $10,000 for the worker in case a dispute arises between the sponsor and the domestic worker, excluding the arrival of domestic workers before the month of Ramadan. 


The speakers expressed their absolute rejection of this condition, even if the situation rose to suspend the arrangements for bringing in domestic workers from the Philippines. This is also in light of many false allegations from some workers, stressing that they are committed to the systems, regulations and provisions of Kuwaiti law and will not submit to the Philippines. They noted that the Philippines has an agenda to continue to place blame, and fish for every event to defame Kuwait in front of human rights organizations.
