AMMAN — The Labour Ministry has recently caught 81 guest labourers working at 29 public institutions, during inspection campaigns across the Kingdom, Ministry Spokesperson Mohammad Khatib said on Sunday.

The campaigns — which focused on checking the ID cards of cleaning, maintenance and cafeteria workers — were implemented under directives from Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour to ban employing guest workers at public institutions, Khatib explained to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.

He added these workers were hired by private sector contractors, against which the necessary legal measures were taken, noting that the ministry is still implementing similar campaigns, according to Petra.
