Bahraini workers left outside Tamkeen aid schemes would be brought under support for companies hit by the current conditions, under an urgent proposal put forward by MP Mohammed Moosa and four other MPs.
The plan covers Bahraini staff who have never received Tamkeen aid, as well as those who benefited before but are no longer covered by the latest schemes.
Its aim is to help firms under strain keep Bahraini workers on the payroll, while easing the risk that families lose part or all of their income.
Mr Moosa said the proposal had been tabled because some businesses faced mounting strain that harmed their ability to keep local staff.
He said this had fallen hardest on ‘Bahraini employees who have not benefited from support programmes, or who benefited previously and are not included in the current support schemes’. The MP said the gap raised fears over job security among workers already carrying living costs.
He added that such a blow would weigh on Bahraini households and called for urgent action to bring all eligible workers under Tamkeen’s aid umbrella.
