The Ministry of Trade announced that they will be cancelling food ration cards of domestic workers that are no longer working under their employers as of the beginning of January, Al-Rai reported.

According to the reports 60000 workers would be covered under this decision and this decision would save 4.5 million dinars annually.

A source told Al Rai that some of the domestic workers have left the country and their sponsors have not updated their ration cards so they kept getting an extra share even though the domestic worker no longer is employed by them.

The Minister of Trade, Faisal Al Medlej said that domestic workers get the exact same benefits from the food ration card compared to Kuwaiti citizens.

New domestic workers will be included under their sponsors’ ration card immediately, especially since many people have changed their work permits without updating their data therefore they are unaccounted for when distributing food rations.
