Forty-seven Bahrainis working on temporary contracts at the Labour Ministry and 20 at the Jaafari Waqf have been made permanent after more than 16 years of petitions and delay.

MP Jalal Kadhem welcomed the move, announced by Acting Labour Minister Yusuf Khalaf and Jaafari Waqf Council Chairman Yusuf Al Saleh.

He said the decision ended years of insecurity for workers and would bring relief to their families after long uncertainty.

Kadhem called on all ministries and government bodies to close the file of temporary contracts and switch them to MP Jalal Kadhem permanent terms.
