The Ministry of Public Works cancelled contracts of 300 non-Kuwaiti employees and performance bonuses will not be awarded to them.
According to a source that spoke with Al Anba, around 300 expats have been excluded from receiving the initial bonus.
The plan to end their contract is part of the Kuwaitization policy which aims at replacing all expats working in the public sector so that 100 per cent of the governmental employees are Kuwaitis.
The source pointed out that the Ministry will permanently dismiss the rest of its non-Kuwaiti employees by next April. Currently, the total number of expats working in the Ministry of Public Works totals to around 500, the source added.
