The step comes in compliance with the Council of Ministers’ directives to modify the country’s population make-up and decrease the numbers of expatriates.
“Reducing manpower’s number is linked to the ministry’s needs. The ministry has the right, under the contracting terms, to reduce their number as public interests dictate without going back to the company,” the minister said.
