I'll repeat what I said:

This is for people in the government on grades: the Qataris.All the expatriates are on fixed salaries since 2001 (they're not on a pay scale).

They're actually quoting "an Arabic daily", which means this is just one guy understood from a translation.

A few months ago "an Arabic daily" published the draft law with the pay scales, the law doesn't say it's only for Qataris, but it says it's only for people who have a grade.

All of the government is currently preparing a list of employees with salary changes according to the new law, this list only includes Qataris.
