DNA law

The Interior Ministry’s visions to amend the DNA law includes restricting the process of taking samples to public sector employees and workers in ‘dangerous and sensitive positions’ including jobs in the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Oil, National Guard and Kuwait Fire Service Directorate, as well as to prisoners and suspects, sources said. Samples will not be taken from civil employees, children or used as a requirement for Kuwaitis to obtain electronic passports, the sources added. — Al-Rai
