Kingdom turns to Yemen, Africa for house help
JEDDAH: The Labor Ministry will facilitate the recruitment of house servants from Yemen, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Sudan and other countries instead of Indonesia and the Philippines, said Deputy Labor Minister Mufrej Al-Haqabani on Saturday. “We’ll approve applications to recruit house servants from these countries,” he said, adding that the new move was taken because of the difficult conditions set by Indonesia and the Philippines for the recruitment of such workers.
