The truth is the people with power ( who we call locally "hawameer", plural of " Hamour") are not the only beneficiaries of the current sponsorship law.
In general, I think expatriates here are being exploited by other expatriates.
There are the international companies with local partners Who not only abuse the law for their own benefit , but also shuffle their skilled employees to other locations whenever they receive a better job opportunity locally. There are also construction companies that are owned by local illiterate elders and being managed by expatriates whom are given full power of attorney ( mostly lebanese or other Arab nationals). Finally there is the Early given retirement 40 something " high school educated" local who makes a living of trading the right of sponsorship (e.g: receives compensations over being the sponsor).
In my opinion , All those cases are enough reasons that the current sponsorship law must be amended or completely abolished.
