Government has been challenged to ensure that recruitment processes under the Israeli labor export deal are fair.
Robert Mkwezalamba, a labor rights advocate, made the call after the Malawi and Israel governments signed the labor export deal.
This comes at a time when parliament has allowed the government to proceed with the initiative to send about 10,000 workers to work, mainly on farms, in Israel.
According to Mkwezalamba, the signing of the deal addresses the bottlenecks that job seekers faced when dealing with middlemen.
Speaking to MIJ Online, Mkwezalamba called on authorities to ensure that recruitment processes are fair to allow equal distribution of job opportunities.
