In 1st. June 2007 , at the prayer points of the Article of the Month, “ Christianity in Kuwait “ point number 3 :
3- Immigrations Laws /Sponsors
By law , you could not stay in Kuwait without a Kuwaiti sponsor,
who controls you in the country and able to cancel your residency
at any time he wants. We believe that this is a slavery spirit which
controls the expatriates. Pray for breaking this spirit and changing
the immigrations laws .
Below is a part from Ambassador Mark P. Lagon, Senior Advisor on Trafficking in Persons Briefing , Release of the 2007 Trafficking in Persons Report
Washington, DC
June 12, 2007
A country falls into Tier 3 if its government is not making a significant effort to combat human trafficking. A Tier 3 country can be sanctioned if it doesn’t take seriously antislavery action in the next 90 days. Sadly, this year the list of countries on Tier 3 has grown to — due to a lack of effort by these governments to combat this serious transnational crime. There are a total of 16 countries on Tier 3, seven of which dropped down to Tier 3 this year: Algeria, Bahrain, Equatorial Guinea, Kuwait, Malaysia, Oman and Qatar.
It’s especially disappointing that so many wealthy countries in the Near East that aren’t lacking adequate resources to make significant progress are on Tier 3. For instance, Saudi Arabia is on Tier 3 for the third year. These are countries in that region that rely extensively on foreign migrant laborers. Practices such as sponsorship laws create conditions that make guest workers especially vulnerable to trafficking in the region. Sponsorship laws give employers extensive personal authority over workers, allowing them to control movement and legal status. These -- there are cases of workers escaping abuse in private homes or work sites. They flee to local police. But if their sponsor denies them an exit permit to leave the country, the exploited workers are effectively held hostage in a shelter or a police detention center, sometimes for years. The power given to sponsors over foreign workers should be limited and counterbalanced with rights for workers to seek legal redress and governments in destination countries should be more active in protecting workers.

We believe that this is the time to break the power of the Spirit of Slavery over Kuwait, to release the free well of the people that lives in Kuwait. Join us to Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to move and change the hearts and minds of the Government to Cancel the laws of Sponsorship with new laws of Immigrations

i lived in Kuwait all my live, and i saw many Good kuwaties,but the law of the Kafiel (Sponsership) encourage the bad Kuwaities to misuse the people.
in ALL cases i agree, the Salavery Law should be cancelled.
this law was used badly specialy after the invation in 1990, and immagine how we felt after the betrayal of the Iraqies!!
the sponsership law gives ALL the kuwaities a chance to Control Strongly thier employee.even many companies kept the passport with them not with the workers which is a personal document.
As a business man i could not do business unlessa Kuwaiti got 51% share from my company Just to be Sponser for me.this is not FAIR.
ALL comes under the Sponsership Law.
Please Pray for that law to be cancelled SOON.
God Love Kuwait and we DO too.

Kuwait News:
Dr. Mohammad Sabah Al-Salim Al-Sabah
Foreign Minister of Kuwait
“I believe that the report is missing a lot of facts mainly regarding the issue of dealing with foreign domestic labor.”
“We agree that there are a lot of issues that require improvement and the government is serious in tackling some of the negative aspects in the situation of foreign domestic labor, and you will see this in laws that the government will adopt on that issue.”
