(Nov 16, 2011,Gulf Daily News)-- Bahrain's government has shown its commitment, intent and motive to help small and medium enterprises and steps are being taken to this end.
However, a lot remains to be done. Manpower agencies, which were absorbing several jobs, are one of the most forgotten businesses.
During their heyday, most were located in the Kuwaiti building, Gudaibiya, providing companies and residences with staff at various levels. Now, due to a restriction on bringing in workers from some countries, they are closing, and with that losing jobs, leaving many unemployed.
More than 80pc business was obtained from Ethiopian workers, which has stopped for more than two years. Many people have asked the reason for banning this group of workers, while they are employed comfortably in other GCC countries, but nobody has come forward to explain the reason.
Businesses are closing, people are losing jobs, customers can't afford to pay hefty fees to bring in other nationalities, so what is going on? Will MPs come up with a solution to ease the burden of businesses and help middle-class Bahrainis hire Ethiopian workers at reasonable fees? We are waiting. Duri Mohammed
