Bahrain Daily Tribune, 31 March 2026: A Bahraini MP called on the Labour Ministry to rectify technical faults in its electronic services and ensure that unemployment allowances and compensation payments are made without delay.

Bahraini MP Mohammed Al Olaiwi urged the Ministry of Labour to promptly resolve a technical fault affecting its online services and to guarantee the uninterrupted payment of unemployment allowances and compensation. His remarks followed an announcement by the ministry on its official social‑media account stating that a technical issue had affected its electronic services and that work was under way, in coordination with the relevant authorities, to address the problem.

The ministry had assured beneficiaries that the technical disruption would not result in the loss of unemployment allowances or compensation payments due to claimants. Al Olaiwi stressed that the ministry must adhere strictly to this assurance, noting that large numbers of jobseekers rely on these payments as their principal source of income.
