      <![CDATA[
        Several Saudi contracting firms have been forced to turn down huge public and private sector projects in the Eastern Province, due to the ‘Nitaqat’ system that aims at reducing reliance on expatriate workers and ensuring jobs for Saudis, Saudi Gazette has reported. “Contracting companies are facing problems because their workers run away in search of higher pay. The complicated Nitaqat procedures have made it impossible to find alternative sources of labour. So some companies have no alternative but to accede to the demands of their workers and increase their wages,” a spokesman for a local contractor said.
