Ahmadi to hold fest:

Under the auspices of the Ahmadi Governor Sheikh Fawaz Khalid Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, Ahmadi Governorate will commence the First Recreational Summer Festival titled “What a Beautiful Summer in Ahmadi” on Friday.

The event will be held at Kuwait Magic Complex in Abu Halifa, and several government and private and volunteer agencies are billed to participate.

Al-Bahar takes post:

CEO of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) Nizar Al-Adasani issued an administrative circular on the appointment of Areej Yousif Al-Bahar as Deputy Managing Director for Financial Affairs in the Financial Sector replacing Ghada Al-Amer, reports Al-Seyassah daily.

Saudi arrested:

Security officers at Nuwaiseeb border arrested a Saudi man for attempting to leave the country using the national ID of his brother, reports Al-Rai daily.

The officer in charge of checking passports noticed that the photo on the ID is different.

When asked about this, the Saudi said he used the ID of his brother because his ID has expired while his passport is at the Indian Embassy because he applied for visa.

He explained he decided to travel to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to renew his ID and attend to other urgent matters.

The officers later found out that the Saudi’s security record is clear.

However, this time, the officers registered a case of forgery and impersonation so the Saudi was referred to the concerned security department.
