TWELVE proposals were approved unanimously by MPs yesterday and referred to the Cabinet for review.
Of these, the nine urgent proposals are:
Stopping the Social Development Ministry from discontinuing the monthly anti-inflation allowance whenever Bahraini beneficiaries travel on a daily basis to the GCC countries or whenever there is a minimum pay rise in the monthly wage above BD1,000 with them asking for the amount to be just deducted;
Amending the Mazaya social housing financing scheme to ensure that pay rises don’t get reflected on the monthly instalment deductions that shouldn’t exceed 25 per cent of the wage;
Employing all medical graduates in government hospitals or health centres or finding Tamkeen-supported jobs in the private medical sector;
Employing all law graduates in ministries or government bodies or finding Tamkeen-supported jobs in private firms or companies;
Employing Bahrainis with physical disabilities in jobs that don’t require movement in ministries and government bodies;
Allowing civil servants to benefit from Tamkeen’s training and development programmes;
Allowing a third fisherman to be listed per fishing licensing;
Giving the 25pc wage-cut instalment treatment to all of those who have received housing services from 2011 until date;
Establishing a new unified acceptance centre under the Education Ministry .
