An urgent proposal has been issued today by five MPs to allow workers in both the public and private sectors affected by the ‘Sitra smell’ to be allowed to work remotely until the issue is solved.
The proposal led by Strategic Thinking Bloc spokesman MP Khalid Bu Onk has been submitted to Parliament Speaker Ahmed Al Musallam, who has in return added it to tomorrow's schedule.
"People living in Sitra and surrounding areas have now sealed their home windows and doors to prevent the smell from entering," said Mr Bu Onk.
"Children are allowed to stay indoors and work remotely," he added. "However, their working parents, older siblings and other family members have to travel through the ‘smell cluster’ to get to work.
It’s not fair and in such exceptional circumstances there should be a rule to allow them to work remotely too."
The GDN reported today that an urgent request to dedicate Tuesday’s Parliament session to discuss the smell in Sitra has been submitted.
The request has been submitted by 10 MPs led by Jalal Kadhem.
They want the normal weekly schedule to be postponed for an extraordinary session on Thursday.
