Cairo: Conditions set by Ethiopia to allow the despatch of domestic labour to Kuwait has sparked controversy, according to a Kuwaiti media report. The terms have drawn opposition from the Kuwaiti Union of Domestic Labour Office Owners. “This undermines the memorandum of understanding,” the union was quoted as saying, referring to a pact recently signed by Kuwait and Ethiopia for hiring domestic workers. Earlier this month, Ethiopia’s envoy in Kuwait said Addis Ababa has put in place a set of strict measures for its workers in Kuwait. These measures will be applied to the house workers who will be dispatched to Kuwait.
