The Cabinet decided to reassign certain functions currently in the mandate of the Ministry of Human Resources, Youth and Sports (MHRYS) to more relevant offices. In its meeting on Tuesday, the Cabinet took this decision because those functions of the MHRYS overlap with the mandate of other offices.
When these changes come into effect:
• Issuing of quota and work permits and related work will be done by the Department of Immigration and Emigration
• Issuing of licence for employment agencies, making regulations to facilitate employment agencies and other related work will be carried out by the Ministry of Economic Development
• Maintaining statistical records and research on job market and publishing information the job market will also be done by the Ministry of Economic Development
