KUWAIT CITY, Aug 24: The domestic labor recruiting agencies in Sri Lanka have increased the value of commission for new contract signings to Kuwait, reports Al-Qabas daily. The new fee is said to be 850 dinars, an increase of 50 dinars over the previous price. Informed sources say these agencies don’t receive requests for Sri Lankan domestic workers who under the age of 40, while those below 40 are sent to other countries.

However, the same sources indicated, with the direct flights operating again the prospect of hiring domestic workers from the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka is bright, in addition to waiting for the signing of agreements between the Kuwaiti-Ethiopian domestic labor offices. Hiring of domestic workers from India and the Philippines is currently under what the authorities called ‘partial hold’ due to the Covid-19 cases in these two countries.
