Kuwait Moves to Bar Late-Paying Firms from Government Tenders

Kuwait's Public Authority for Manpower plans to submit the names of companies that fail to pay workers' wages to the Central Agency for Public Tenders, paving the way for their exclusion from government bidding until they pay regularly, Times Kuwait reported, citing Al-Jarida. Applications through the Wage Collection System reached 93,865 between January and September, up 195.6% from 31,757 a year earlier.
