news For a few dollars more Kathmandu Post Nepal, Jan. 26 -- The controversy over the Qatari police allegedly trying to recruit Nepali nationals for its security forces has resurfaced this week. This follows the fiasco, in November last year, that the Qatari police had tried to bypass Nepal's foreign employment rules. The issuance of a visa to a Nepali national last week under the category Police Army Staff for work in Qatar has raised suspicion among Nepali authorities that migrant workers are being sent to the Gulf state illegally. Qatar had recruited 179 youths legally in the first phase early last year, but had allegedly bypassed the government's guidelines while recruiting 300 youths in the second phase. Nepal had suspended three recruitment companies that were found to be involved in conducting interviews for recruitment without following the due process. Government officials have said they are trying to ascertain the authenticity of the visa and check whether the alleged wrongdoing is the handiwork of the Qatari police or of local manpower companies duping job seekers by misusing the name of the Qatari police this time. However, as the Post reported on Monday, the candidates are being asked to pay a hefty sum of over $6,000 for getting the security force job. This means that the agencies have possibly returned to business clandestinely.
