A parliamentary proposal seeking to shut foreign-owned businesses out of Tamkeen’s direct financial support has run into a legislative hurdle, with the services committee recommending its rejection because a similar bill has already completed its review.
The proposal, spearheaded by MP Zainab Abdulamir alongside four fellow MPs, seeks to amend Article Four (b) of the law establishing the Labour Fund, restricting direct support to Bahraini individuals and companies and commercial establishments owned by Bahraini citizens .
