KUWAIT CITY, Jan 9: In a recent announcement, the Ministry of Interior revealed that 41 domestic worker recruitment offices have been suspended for non-compliance with the Domestic Workers Law and the directives of the Ministry of Commerce. This action follows the inaugural day of an intensive inspection tour carried out in the wake of the implementation of new regulations governing domestic workers' wages.

The Ministry's decision to suspend these offices underscores the government's commitment to enforcing regulations aimed at safeguarding the rights and welfare of domestic workers. The move comes in response to numerous violations detected during the initial phase of inspections.

The inspections, conducted by the recently introduced domestic workers' pricing structure, are part of a broader effort to regulate the recruitment industry and ensure fair labor practices. The Ministry of Interior has emphasized the need for all recruitment offices to adhere to the stipulated guidelines to protect both domestic workers and employers.

Officials from the Ministry of Interior have not disclosed specific details regarding the nature of the violations committed by the suspended offices. However, these actions were taken to address non-compliance with established legal frameworks governing the recruitment and employment of domestic workers.

The government's proactive stance on enforcing these regulations reflects a commitment to fostering a fair and just working environment for domestic workers. The Ministry of Interior has indicated that further inspections will be carried out to identify and address any additional irregularities within the recruitment sector.

As the government continues its efforts to uphold the rights of domestic workers and maintain transparency in the recruitment process, stakeholders are encouraged to stay informed about the evolving regulations in the domestic labor market.
