The Saudi Arabia labour program designed for Nepalese workers has been halted after complaints emerged regarding excessive fees charged to migrants.
The Saudi Arabian government has officially suspended its labour recruitment scheme targeting Nepalese workers. This decision came after a significant backlash concerning the high fees imposed on prospective migrants seeking employment through the program. According to reports, Nepalese workers and advocacy groups raised concerns regarding the financial burden these fees placed on migrants, potentially exploiting vulnerable individuals. While the Saudi authorities have not released detailed official statements, the suspension indicates a response to these complaints. The development underscores challenges faced by Nepalese overseas workers, emphasizing the need for transparent and fair recruitment processes to ensure ethical labour migration practices.
