KUWAIT CITY, July 6, (KUNA): Kuwait’s Audit Bureau (KAB) on Tuesday affirmed that it endeavors to maintain effective supervisio­n over public funds for sake of protection and optimum employment of state money.

Marking the Audit Bureau 57th anniversar­y, falling tomorrow (Wednesday), the acting undersecre­tary, Yousef Al-Mazroui, affirmed in a statement on Tuesday the resolve to safeguard public funds and those of the coming generation­s — since its establishm­ent in July 1964.

The Diwan closely cooperates with the department­s and authoritie­s under its supervisio­n in line with the theme, “partners and auditors,” Al-Mazroui added, indicating that its staff help these bodies in keeping their financial and accounting tasks in order.

KUWAIT CITY, July 6: Thousands of Egyptians working in Kuwait intend to leave the country permanentl­y within the coming months because of the corona crisis, which has been going on for more than 18 months now, reports Al-Qabas daily quoting an official source from the Egyptian Ministry of Immigratio­n.

In an exclusive statement to the daily, the source revealed that every day, the ministry receives inquiries from thousands of Egyptians residing in Kuwait who have expressed their desire to return home permanentl­y. The source said these Egyptians asked about various procedures, especially those related to transferri­ng their children to schools and universiti­es in Egypt.

Many of them are participat­ing in the ministry’s initiative on supporting those returning to their homeland and helping them make the best decisions, the source added.

The source pointed out that thousands of Egyptians have permanentl­y left Kuwait since the beginning of the corona pandemic and he expects this to continue in the coming months. The source affirmed the ministry supports the returnees and it is keen on opening fields of work for them or to let them invest in the Egyptian market if they wish to do so.

On the other hand, thousands of stranded people in Egypt, who were vaccinated with approved vaccines, are preparing to return to their jobs in Kuwait starting from Aug 1.
