Riyadh, Shawwal 09, 1435, August 05, 2014, SPA -- A joint interior and labor ministries meeting held at the Labor Ministry headquarters in Riyadh today has dealt with ways to intensify campaigns against Iqama and labor violators. The meeting, held under the co-chairmanship of Deputy Minister of Labor Dr. Mufrej bin Saad Al-Hagbani and Assistant Director General of the Public Security Major General Jamaan Al-Ghamdi, in the attendance of a number of senior officials from the two sides, recommended further intensification of joint Iqama/labor inspection campaigns for residence and labor permits violators. The conferees called on Saudi sponsors whose foreign sponsored are at large to harry up notifying the police authorities about them to evade themselves being charged. They also assessed the joint efforts between the two ministries so far and adopted a number of new mechanisms to upgrade the effectiveness of inspection campaigns and penalty enforcement. --SPA 22:59 LOCAL TIME 19:59 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
