Kuwait City: The Manpower Authority has sent a letter to the Ministry of Commerce demanding an increase in the rates for domestic worker recruitment. The authority has requested a 10 per cent increase to benefit recruitment agencies. In a letter to the authority, it said the rate for domestic worker recruitment should be raised from 890 dinars to 980 dinars in the event of higher costs, including ticket prices. However, sources said that the Commerce Ministry had rejected the request of the Manpower Authority.


The ministry said the maximum rate was 890 dinars, including travel tickets and check-in costs for the worker from the recruited country. Strict action will be taken in case of any violation of this provision. The ministry also decided to intensify inspections to ensure that the instructions are strictly followed.
