56 expatriates to lose job

March 22, 20160 Comments

Fifty six expatriate workers working with the Kuwait University are likely to lose their job in the next fiscal year 2016/2017.

Kuwait University Secretariat General has asked its administration prepare a list of non-Kuwaiti employees at the university in order to freeze their jobs. This means that the listed expatriate workers will lose their jobs or their contracts will not be renewed.

These positions will be reserved only for Kuwaiti nationals, reported Kuwait Times. The secretariat said in an official letter that the decision follows from the Civil Service Commission (13/2007), in regards to the Kuwaitization of government jobs, and requirements to reduce non-Kuwaiti staff by 15 percent each year.
