PTL, Bahrain to end ‘slavery’ system
7:43 in Prayer by kuwait lover
PTL, Bahrain to end ‘slavery’ system (the labor sponsorship by employers). May this spread throughout the Middle East and of course into Kuwait. We have been praying for this for so long. Now we must pray more and more till it is complete!

البحرين تلغي العمل بنظام الكفيل بداية من أغسطس المقبل
أكدت البحرين رسميا إلغاء نظام الكفيل للعمالة الوافدة العاملة في البلاد والمقدر عددها رسميا بنصف مليون عامل يشكلون نصف سكان البحرين حيث سيكون بإمكان العامل الأجنبي ابتداء من أغسطس/آب المقبل الانتقال إلى عمل آخر دون موافقة صاحب العمل الأساسي.
وكان القانون صدر في عام 2006 إلا أن رفض رجال الأعمال له أخر إصداره بشكل تنفيذي قبل أن يتم إقراره بعد التصويت عليه في مجلس إدارة تنظيم سوق العمل.

” the main change in the regulations in Bahrian would mean foreign workers would now be directly sponsored by the Labour Authority and would not rely on their employers.
The current system, which is common to all Gulf countries, has long been criticised by human rights groups for placing workers at the mercy of their employers.
Employers usually take employees’ passports when they enter the country and sometimes use possession of the travel documents to extort a large fee before the workers can leave the country ”
Please pray for freedom , the same God who changed the hearts in Bahrian is able to do it in Kuwait.
Priase The Lord
