(MENAFN- Arab Times) As a precautionary measure, Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor has suspended the files of 595 individuals who receive social aid after discovering that some of such individuals hold commercial licenses and own companies with workforce.
Assistant Undersecretary for Social Development Sector Hassan Kadhim said the sector coordinated with the concerned government bodies including Manpower Public Authority and discovered an individual who has been receiving social aid and has more than 120 people registered under his sponsorship.
