KUWAITIS REASSURED THAT CONTRACTS OF EXPATS IN GOVERNMENT JOBS NOT RENEWED

  • 28/10/2022

Kuwait City: The work contracts for foreign nationals who are still employed by the government are only valid for a year. There are no longer any contracts for five years or open-ended agreements, according to the sources, even when using the services of any non-Kuwaitis. The sources assured all Kuwaitis that there is no renewal for any expatriate at all as long as a citizen is available to fill any specialisation, and this applies to all ministries without exception, whether they have children who aspire to obtain a government job or those who are about to graduate and are concerned that a job will not be provided for them. 


This came in response to a question about the completion of the implementation of Resolution No. 11 of 2017 regarding the rules and procedures for Kuwaitization of government jobs last August, whose implementation period is set at five years, and 22 specialties are still occupied by expatriates. 

These disciplines incorporate a gathering of designing position, instructing, schooling, preparing, social, instructive, and sports administrations, science occupations, domesticated animals, rural, hydroponics, monetary, financial, and business occupations, gatherings of regulation, governmental issues, Islamic undertakings, criminological proof, and counteraction, salvage, and expert and administration occupations.
