Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry has sent a draft memorandum of understanding (MOU) to the Ethiopian labour authorities to clear the way for recruitment of domestic workers from the African country to ease a shortage in domestic helpers in Kuwait, a unionist has disclosed.

Chairman of Kuwait’s Union for Domestic Labour Khalid Al Dakhnan said the MOU was dispatched five days ago to Addis Ababa for revision and potential observations, according to Kuwaiti newspaper Al Jarida reports.

“The Foreign Ministry has amended some articles in the MOU in a manner that protects rights of the three parties involved: domestic labour, local recruitment agencies and their counterparts in Addis Ababa,” he added.

Al Dakhnan added that the final conclusion of the agreement will save a lot of money for Kuwaiti citizens and foreign residents interested in hiring Ethiopian domestic workers.

Earlier this week, Al Dakhnan and members of the union met the Sri Lankan Ambassador in Kuwait Othman Jawhar for talks on recruitment of domestic workers from the country.

The union’s Director-General Abdulaziz Al Ali said that both sides agreed to hold a workshop between the union and the embassy to discuss all issues related to the Sri Lankan workers,
