Kuwait denies rumors on cancelling Sponsorship System for workers

Thursday, May 21, 2020

Kuwait's Ministry of Social Affairs denied media reports Wednesday as "untrue" that the ministry planned to scrap the sponsors' system.

Media reports about cancellation of the sponsors' system of workers "are completely untrue," Undersecretary Abdulaziz Shuaib said in a statement.

He said Minister Maryam Al-Aqeel did not even proposal this matter to the Council of Minister. He explained this was a mere study received by the Ministry of Social Affairs, and was referred to relevant departments.

Yesterday some newspaper and online sites reported that Kuwait is planning to abolish sponsorship system for employees.
