Two Kuwaitis Got Fired!

I thought this was an impossibility? Seems two Kuwaitis were fired from EQUATE and some MPs are gagging at the bit to get back to naming and blaming Ministers, specifically the Minister of Oil,  for the absence of guarantees that protect Kuwaiti employees in the private sector.

Questions
1) If there's no cabinet, there's no government surely there are no MPs?
2) What's so wrong with firing an employee? It instills better work ethics in others.
3) If EQUATE Petrochemical Company is a private company then doesn't this matter lie with the Minister of Labour?

Not that I'm an expert in naming and blaming - seems a big waste of time to me.

LWDLIK- Hmmm.. Are there not way more important matters to be dealt with? Although I would like to see a precedent or change in the law that says no particular nationality is to be fired. It's silly and counter-productive. I would never go to work if I thought I'd never get fired.
