Ministry in 'state of stagnation' :: Khaleej Times

Lengthy article. Quote:

A number of experts from the Ministry of Education (MoE) have confessed that they have not accomplished the job they were hired for during the last one and a half years, but they continued to draw their salaries. They admitted that they came to their offices every morning, sit there and chatted, and read the newspapers, mostly to keep track of developments in the financial markets.
