700 Kuwaiti firms charged with human trafficking

No, the issue will go away Chris if the Kuwait government formulates a Government Manpower Company where expat workers are issued visas controlled by the government. What you sited is one of the problems, but these visa traders trafficked people to Kuwait under a false company and Kuwait has a high unemployment rate. This is why there are so many illegal workers squatting in Kuwait.

kuwait has a high unemployment rate!!!! no kuwaiti will ever become a household worker thats the problem those that are unemployed do not want to work
i am in business here i want more Kuwaiti workers but they dont want to work in the private intdustrie cause they are managed not like the government where they just come and go
unemployment is not the term it should be people who dont or choose not to work and its a low% at 4-5 % spain is 25% get real and put it in perspective
illegal workers are squatting here cause they cant afford to buy the ticket home give them an amnesty and a free flight and they would be gone tomorrow

It is the illegal use of household visas which cause the problems in Kuwait. They are meant to be used for household staff but instead are used to bring people in without rights. Cut the visas to one per Kuwaiti for household staff and the issue will go away.....even with the size of some families!

ok so deport an expat for driving offences what penalty is the government going to put on the Kuwaiti sponsors a crime far worse than driving I bet it will be a small fine
