Kuwait City : A new hurdle has been encountered for the return of Filipino domestic workers to Kuwait as a difference of opinion arised  in providing monthly reports on recruitment of Filipino domestic workers .The Philippine embassy request to make a monthly report on all movements and conditions of domestic workers that each labour office brings was refused by Director of the Department for Regulating the Recruitment of Domestic Workers in the Public Authority for Manpower, Nasser Al-Mousawi .Al-Mousawi’s statement regarding the illegality of contacting the sponsor made the offices stop that for fear of legal accountability.An urgent meeting to address the issue  has been planned to conduct tomorrow.


The head of the Technical Voluntary Committee to Study the Situation of the Domestic Workers Sector, Bassam Al-Shammari, criticized Al-Mousawi’s statement  as communicating with sponsors of domestic workers to check on their conditions is an inherent right of recruitment offices, which are the first points of protection of the contractual relationship between the sponsor and the worker.
