The sources attributed the reasons for the decision to the need to work on setting up a new mechanism to control recruitment from Egypt, and “the Egyptian embassy’s violation of the Kuwaiti laws regulating the labor market,” and working to implement the laws and regulations regulating the labor market decisively.
