The Ministry of Education (MoE) will terminate 101 expats from their positions in administration of a number of sectors in early July as per the procedures of the Kuwaitization policy of government jobs, reported a local daily.
A list of expatriate employees was asked to be submitted that were eligible for the replacement policy according to the figures from the Civil Service Commission (CSC). The Administrative Sector is now finalizing the list of the 101 expat employees who will have their contracts frozen from the ministry’s budget for fiscal 2020/2021 effective July 1. This will be done in coordination with the Ministry of Finance.
The expats in the Ministry of Education for this year are assigned in engineering, financial, educational, legal research, information systems, literature and information, and administrative support jobs.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Public Works has agreed to the request of the Central Agency for Public Tenders (CAPT), to allow local companies to enter as major contractors alongside international companies, to compete for a project to construct a wastewater purification plant in Al-Mutla’a City, provided these local companies have experience in such projects.
The daily reports the ministry agreed to this condition, and its approval was sent to the Central Tenders Company, to prepare for the launch of the vital project that will serve the AlMutla’a area, pointing out that the CAPT had previously rejected this project because the ministry submitted it with a one-stage system for design and implementation.
The agency stipulated that the tender be launched in two separate phases, one for design and the other for implementation, according to Article 39 of the CTC Law, which stipulates the separation of design work from implementation. The sources say, the Ministry of Public Works has obtained the approval of the Ministry of Finance for the financial part of the project, which is expected to be completed in the 2022. The total value of the contract is 150 million dinars.
