President Irfaan Ali yesterday said that the government is working on a holistic immigration policy to cater for mounting issues such as contractors not being able to find labourers.
“I had a meeting on Friday with the contractors, and they’re all behind schedule now because they can’t find labour. They can’t find workers, and this is a major problem that we’re going to be faced with. Some may say it’s a good problem to have, but it’s a very troubling problem. So, we are working now on a holistic immigration policy, not only for the diaspora but understanding critically what the demand will be in three years, five years and ten years”, he said according to a statement from the Office of the President.
