Kuwait Ban Nigerian and Others from Workingin their Country
According to a circular issued by Kuwait’s Interior Ministry, domestic workers may now only be recruited from select countries including South Africa, Benin, Eritrea, Ethiopia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, India, Vietnam and Nepal. Recruitment from Senegal is permitted but restricted to male workers only.
The directive, which took effect shortly after being updated, also bars recruitment from a wide range of African countries including Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Togo, Malawi, Chad, Djibouti, Niger, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Cabo Verde, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, the Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Angola, as well as the Asian countries of Madagascar and Bhutan.
The measure was adopted following recommendations from several government bodies, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Health, and the Public Authority for Manpower, according to local reports.
Officials say recruitment procedures will now be handled through designated governorates as part of tighter administrative oversight of the domestic labour sector.
