Qatar 'kafala' reforms face fresh delay
Qatar's pledge to abolish its controversial "kafala" labour system by the end of 2015 is in doubt after Doha's main consultative body expressed serious concerns about proposed reforms.
Despite expectations that Qatar was close to announcing the end of "kafala", the country's Shura Council said a draft law could not yet be introduced and needed further examination, according to the Arabic-language newspaper Al Sharq.
The council's chairman Mohammed bin Mubarak al-Khulaifi also said there was "no need to hurry" in introducing the reforms, despite the government saying earlier this year that "kafala" would almost certainly be scrapped by December.
The council also appeared to propose introducing other reforms, including punishing foreign workers who "deliberately" create problems.
Government officials confirmed that further consultations would take place on the proposed changes to the system, which governs Qatar's vast army of foreign workers.
