According to DMW, 1500 cheques have been distributed to Saudi Oger Claimants which started November 2023. After six months, payments have still not been made to the approximately, yen thousand remaining claimants.
A source that visited one of Alinma Bank branch said that Al Mojil MMG Company has a ready cheque for its first batch of 339 approved claimants.
Meanwhile, according to J&P Company Trustee, which is Reanda they are still waiting for the court rulings to proceed with the payment of claimants.
Saudi Authorities should be considerate enough to avoid prolonging the payment for the claimants. We all know how approximately 50 thousand employees from Saudi Oger, Al Mojil MMG, J&P, Saudi Limited, Drake & Scull and Bin Laden Group suffered when their construction companies declared bankruptcy from 2015 to 2018.
It's about time that the Saudi Government, the Ministry of Finance, and the Saudi court give justice by expediting the payment for all claimants and not imposing a complicated process for them to claim their hard-earned money working in the Kingdon of Saudi Arabia. Some of these claimants worked more than 20 to 30 years with their respective companies and are waiting for their unpaid salaries and end-of-service benefits.
It is a reminder to those planning to work in Saudi Arabia, to think ten times before leaving your country in exchange for working in KSA. Once your company falters and your iqama has expired, the best thing you can do is to stay in the company-provided accommodation since you will not be allowed to leave the Kingdom since you can only avail of an exit visa once your iqama is renewed.
