AMMAN — The Labour Ministry’s inspection committees on Sunday arrested 131 illegal guest workers during several crackdown campaigns launched across the Kingdom, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The ministry’s inspection director, Menwar Abul Ghanam, said that more similar campaigns are under way to regulate the job market, pointing to the ministry’s efforts in raising employers’ awareness through the inspection agents’ advisory visits.
He explained that the people arrested held expired work permits or worked in jobs different from the ones registered in their permits, stressing that such violations are present in various sectors.
The official called on employers to abide by the Labour Law and rectify the status of guest workers during the grace period which ends on April 5, warning of “immediate deportation” for “illegal” workers.
