Riyadh, Asharq Al-Awsat- The Saudi ministry of labor has renewed its warning to all Saudi companies of not falsifying their Saudization figures particularly by participating in false Saudization programs, stating that the ministry is closely monitoring this issue.

The ministry of labor recently suspended the activities of a local labor recruitment firm for a five-year period, after an investigation found that the firm had inflated its Saudization figures to match the quota set by the ministry.

Last May, Minister of Economy and Planning Khaled Al-Gosaibi called for the active cooperation of both the private and public sectors in an effort to achieve the goals set by the kingdom’s Saudization program.
