Heard the same thing for many times over the past few years.. But nothing solid happened..
So don't put your hopes up

As discussed in another thread: https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=169485

KSA authorities are these days working on a scheme to replace the personal kafeel system with a new outsourcing companies infrastructure. The plan will be approved by Shura by end of this year and will be rolled out in 2013. (Even now the plan is on the new move for experimentation purposes).
