DOLE mulls deployment ban to Kuwait as another Filipina is killed 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Analou De VeraThe Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is studying the possibility of reimposing a deployment ban of household service workers (HSW) in Kuwait. “It’s an option,” said Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III when asked if his department will reimpose the deployment ban in the Gulf state. To note, the Philippine government imposed a deployment ban in Kuwait last year amid reported deaths and abuses of OFWs in the Gulf state. The ban was eventually lifted after both countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that further strengthen the protection of Filipino workers in Kuwait.
