They've been saying this for a long time but I think Qatar will continue stringing along the old 'we will change' speech for a little longer, because the abuse of labor is beneficial for alot of companies here which are actually building the infrastructure, for example numerous private construction & contracting companies and the like. I know countless people stuck in low paying dead end jobs who've been waiting for the law to change because they like Qatar and have been offered good jobs by better companies but their employer will not allow them to leave the existing companies like they own them or something. I would LOVE to see the kafala system scrapped, Qatar would be a much more attractive and happier place to live for all of us.
If Qatar wants to show that it actually cares about people's basic human rights and become less like a prison where people are forced to work under one company and be abused by the management and/or the sponsor then they will make dramatic changes and fast - don't see it happening tbh.
