The Council of Representatives will discuss on Tuesday a proposal submitted by MP Zainab Abdulameer aimed at securing permanent positions for Bahraini employees on temporary contracts working in the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Labour, and the Sunni and Jaffari Endowments Directorates.
The explanatory memorandum for the proposal indicates that it aims to mitigate potential harm to a significant segment of national talent and expertise holding temporary contracts, accelerate the replacement of expatriate workers by stabilising Bahrainis on temporary contracts, and achieve job security and stability for citizens by including them under the umbrella of social insurance, especially given rising prices and increasing financial burdens.
In its response, the Ministry of Health stated that its health sectors, in accordance with their plans for the Bahrainization of jobs and replacement of foreign workers, have taken the necessary measures to stabilise employees with temporary contracts, thus achieving the desired objectives of the proposal.
For its part, the Ministry of Information confirmed in its response to the proposal that it does not have any employees working on temporary contracts, and the Ministry of Labour gave a similar response. It is worth noting that the Legislative and Legal Affairs Committee of the Council of Representatives recommended approval of the proposal.
