Kuwaiti citizenship petitions will be received until April 25
Report to be submitted to relevant authority
KUWAIT CITY, April 20, (KUNA): The commission of withdrawn nationalities receives applications for examining requests to restore the Kuwaiti citizenship until April 25.
This was announced by the committee secretary, Dr Nayef Al-Ajmi, in a statement to KUNA on Thursday.
April 25 is the last day for accepting applications on citizenship restoration, he said.
The commission, since its formation, has been holding an open-ended session. It has examined a number of cases involving the citizenship withdrawal or loss. It will submit a report in this regard to the relevant authority for taking the proper decisions regarding these petitions.
“The right to file an application is guaranteed for every-one regardless of the date of the withdrawal or loss,” he said, explaining further that this is applicable to anyone who has been stripped of the citizenship before or after the liberation.
This has been previously affirmed by the chairman of the commission, the advisor at the Amiri Diwan Ali Al-Rashed, according to guidelines of the National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim and His Highness the Premier.
Meanwhile, former MP Kamel Al-Awadi criticized some companies for disrupting the implementation of the law on bringing domestic workers to the country, stressing the action is not in favor of citizens and an obstacle to efforts to start a bright period in terms of the treatment of domestic workers, reports Al-Anba daily.
Al-Awadi warned about the dire consequences of protecting owners of such companies.
He wondered why the cost of bringing one domestic worker to the country reached KD 700 while cooperative societies offer domestic labor offices for free.
