Replacement of expats with citizens
As per Arabtimes, The Interior Ministry has conducted an extensive study on replacing expatriate employees with citizens (Kuwaitization) in some of its departments, especially in traffic and immigration departments, for security reasons, says an official source from the ministry.
According to the source, the Kuwaitization move came after widespread incidents of forgery and manipulations by non-Kuwaiti employees in vital departments.
He explained the concerned security bodies have toughened scrutiny of all transactions and stamps, particularly after the discovery of a huge quantity of fake stamps.
