“We are issuing this bill in coordination with the KRG Ministry of Interior to organize and regulate the work of the security companies,” Bijar Kochar, Head of KRP Legal Committee, told Kurdistan 24.
“This new bill will create new job opportunities for the youth in the region’s security sector.”
The new draft bill includes 22 articles. It aims to create new job opportunities for the youth by having these security companies hire the majority of their employees from the region.
Also, under this new bill, government security employees will not be allowed to work in private security companies to give unemployed youth a better chance of finding jobs in those companies.
