The Philippine government has suspended the accreditation of foreign recruitment agencies in Kuwait following the brutal killing of Filipina domestic helper Jullebee Ranara, the Manila-based Philstar reported.
Kuwait-based Migrant Workers Office officer-in-charge Catherine Duladul announced new regulations for the process of accreditation, job orders and employment contracts by foreign recruitment agencies, effective Jan 29. Only foreign recruitment agencies with a clean record or those without residents at shelters and no requests for assistance will be allowed to submit applications for processing, according to Duladul.
