MUSCAT His Excellency Dr. Mahad bin Saeed bin Ali Baouin, Minister of Labour met executive heads of government companies to discuss plans to replace expats with Omanis in leadership roles.

During the meeting which was held in cooperation with the Oman Investment Authority, the Minister stressed the need to prioritise the process to replace expats with Omanis in various leadership and supervisory professions.

His meeting with executives comes following a circular which was issued in April this year by the Ministry of Finance directing all government companies of the need to expedite the process of replacing the expatriates with Omanis according to a specific timetable.

The circular added that the process should be implemented at various job levels as quickly as possible, including leadership and supervisory positions, provided that the report is presented within budget estimates for 2021 in July.
