MPs raised concerns over alleged employment of runaway domestic workers in hotels, the presence of heavy trucks in residential neighbourhoods, the continued recruitment of foreign workers despite thousands of unemployed Bahrainis, and frozen salary grades affecting government employees during Parliament’s debate on 50 government responses to proposals yesterday.
The wide-ranging debate exposed mounting frustration over issues affecting households, businesses and the labour market, with MPs also demanding reforms to the parallel Bahrainisation system and a permanent home for traditional Bahraini crafts in Manama Suq .
