At present there are more than 500,000 Sri Lankan workers in Saudi Arabia, half of them housemaids. They generate annual revenue of more than one billion US dollars, according to Faizer Mackeen, Secretary of the Association for Licensed Foreign Employment Agencies (ALFEA).
Officials in Colombo said there were also other issues that had cropped up between ALFEA and SANARCOM. The two bodies had signed a memorandum of understanding on commissions on September 9. In terms of this, ALFEA members agreed to charge a standard rate of US $ 1,000 for each person who was sent for a job in Saudi Arabia.
However, non members or those who had quit membership in ALFEA had charged higher amounts, sometimes going up to US $ 1,800.Sri Lanka Foreign Employment Bureau Chairman K. Ranawaka, told the Sunday Times yesterday he had so far received no official information on the matter. He said the Bureau had no role to play on matters relating to commissions. “We cannot control rates. The agents are free to charge whatever they like from their Saudi counterparts,” he said.
