(MENAFN- Arab Times) MPs Abdulhamid Dashti, Oda Al- Rowai'e, Faisal Al-Kandari, Mohammed Tana and Majid Mousa have proposed amendments to the draft law on the recruitment of domestic workers, such as changing the name of the bill to, 'Organizing the Recruitment of Domestic Workers', reports Al-Anba daily.
The lawmakers also suggested revising Article 59 to allow the minister of interior to issue the executive byelaws, regulations and decisions required to implement the law within three months from the date of its publication in the official gazette.
They also proposed modifying the preface of the law on establishing movable joint companies to hire and supervise domestic personnel.
