The Persian Gulf Residency
Bahrain,
2nd May, 1949.
I enclose an extract of a letter from
Gaflov/ay, together with a copy of Kadoo’s
submission.
2. The staff situation throughout the
Persian Gulf is acute and nowhere more so thafc ^
in Kuwait. Johnson in his letter 127/2/49 of
Slst January to E.S. Jones, stressed the
difficulties under which we labour due to the
Oil Companies being able to offer considerably
higher salaries than we can. They are, moreover,
able to deal with submissions of this nature on
the spot.
3. We cannot afford to lose Kadoo’s
services. The pressure of v/ork at this Agency
is already high and the rapid development of
Kuwait followed by an enormous increase in the
number of British and American subjects to look
after is increasing the strain beyond all measure,
^adoo’s emoluments, after giving effect to the
recently approved adjustment, are as follows
Basic pay
Rs.
310
Dearness Alice.
S
i- *\
255
Rent Alice. ,
\ •
100
Rs.
665
4. Under present conditions, with far more
jobs vacant in Kuwait than persons suitable for
filling them Kadoo with his many years' experience
must be regarded as irreplaceable. We therefore
strongly recommend that a special allowance of
Rs.20C a month be authorised for him as a special
case.
