A group of MPs has proposed limiting the employment tenure of expats in the civil service in Bahrain to just four years, with an aim to prioritise the employment of locals in the sector.
Recommending changes to the 2010 Civil Service Law, five MPs, led by services committee vice-chairman Mohammed Al Olaiwi, said the nation could benefit from the skills and expertise of expats during their term of employment but the focus should be on ensuring that qualified Bahraini nationals are given priority in the country’s public sector .
