Qataris frustrated with confusion surrounding new retirement law

Qatari citizens took to social media to express their frustration at what has been described as “confusing” retirement laws.

Whilst the announcement received local praise at the time, confusions have appeared to remain. This was amplified by prominent Qatari cartoonist Mohammed Abdellatif, who published an image of a retired man looking at blurred out questions over the retirement law.

One Twitter user pointed to the overlapping parts of the retirement pensions law, describing clauses as contradictory.

Besides the retirement law, there have been general confusions over a number of other laws in the country.
