Kuwaiti plan to replace foreign employees in government jobs with citizens will be completed by next August, Al Anba newspaper has reported.
A related decision made by the Civil Service Commission, the country’s employment agency, will be completed by August in government institutions except those of teachers, doctors and service jobs, Al Anba said, citing close government sources.
In September 2017, the commission issued the decision to different government agencies to gradually reduce their numbers of non-Kuwaiti employees and complete the citizens’ employment or what is dubbed as “Kuwaitisation” in five years.
Around 18,000 foreigners were deported from Kuwait in various cases in 2021, according to the Interior Ministry's figures.
