The Ministry of Oil sources said the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation will in the near future review the employment system in a manner commensurate with the possibility of absorbing more Kuwaitis into the oil sector fold.
The sources told Al-Rai daily that of 7,000 applicants 521 Kuwaitis were accepted, stressing that the examination system was through a neutral party to ensure the question paper model was not disclosed in advance to ensure impartiality among the applicants to the point of not allowing senior officials in the oil sector to screen the tests results.
The sources indicated that the children of many senior oil officials responsible for contracting with the examination body have failed, and that those who passed the examinations made self-efforts away from any favoritism.
The sources confirmed that the ministry of oil and its companies are keen on equal opportunities and not to discriminate one candidate from another.
