KUWAIT: The contracts of expatriate employees who have crossed the age of 60 will not be extended, as per a recently issued ministerial decree.
The relevant announcement was made by the Ministry of Defense's Undersecretary Jassar Al-Jassar, reported Al-Rai.
He pointed out direct orders have been made by First Deputy PM and Defense Minister, Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubrak to replace expats on the verge of retirement with citizens. Al-Jassar also issued another decision that bans any change in job designation, allowances paid or granting pay hikes to expatriates to avoid over-burdening the ministry's budget. - Kuwait Times
