Discussion on Employment Crisis and Regulations

Your Excellency, you didn't answer my question. These are justifications

only.

I'm talking about, about, about your role

as the man at the head of this ministry.

Your role is political, not administrative. Everything I said, I understand

and believe me, I expected and knew your answers because this is your role.

But this problem isn't compa… isn't…

isn't… it isn't addressed this way. This is a crisis, not a simple job-seeker

issue. This is a crisis, and a crisis should be

addressed through your role within the Cabinet and by changing

policies within the Cabinet, because you are one

of its members.

For you to answer me with these answers is unacceptable to the job seeker

who is watching us now. Our role now is to question you.

As for, as for justifications, there are many. I can give you a million justifications,

but can you justify this to me? Oman now has

revenues of 11 billion and more, and a country of

two million six hundred thousand. Is that a justification for

having job seekers? Forgive me, I don't, don't, I mean, I don't

justify any of you ministers, ever. You are supposed to solve…

this crisis urgently. And this must be sent to the Council

of Ministers so it knows this is a very serious problem

far beyond what you imagine, because its outbreak will cause a problem and an uproar

and darkness, as you described.

I have a question, Your Excellency, regarding, regarding

the requirement for an engineer to have a graduation certificate from

the Engineers Association. This, Your Excellency, the Engineers Association

was established under the Associations Law, which falls under the Ministry of Social Development,

and adding this condition is outside your Ministry's jurisdiction.

Meaning, you add, meaning, a condition like this. Is this not your role? What is the role of

the Ministry legislatively? I determine it, and I want you to explain to me why

this is the case.

Also, I mean, I expected all the answers and all the questions, all the questions

that I would raise, and I expected the answer, but make—

All right, thank you, Your Excellency. If you have

additional suggestions

that you would be happy to offer or consider useful, you are welcome at the Ministry,

and there are working groups that will sit with you, whether you explain your point of view to us

Or, or explain to you the work carried out by the ministry.

The ministry's role is regulatory, as we mentioned, and we are also members of

the Cabinet, and all the matters raised

are known to us as a government, and they are what we work on and develop

plans for them so they can be implemented. As for

the Engineers Association and other associations

The professional bodies that

we sign agreements with to regulate the labor market, because we are entrusted with

and have the right to regulate the labor market and add the conditions

and specifications on the basis of which

anyone entering the labor market must have qualifications or

work permits.
