    The Minister of Foreign Employment Thalatha Athukorala said that she is prepared to halt overseas employment as Housemaids within the next five years.

    The Minister pointed out that she wanted to stop more housemaids going overseas during these five years as she recognized the plight of the innocent people and to protect the dignity of the country.
