Unions call for Wednesday, Thursday off

KUWAIT: Head of Kuwait Government Workers’ Trade Union Hussein Al-Azmi urged His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah to issue a decision to make Wednesday and

Thursday following the Eid Al-Adha holidays as rest days for all state workers, because they fall between the Eid holiday and the weekend.

Separately, Director General of Kuwait Municipality Ahmad AlManfouhi said the municipality will not be lax towards removing all construction violations, including building makeshift rooms on roofs and increasing the area allowed. He said what was discovered by inspectors distorts the view in Kuwait City and there will be no hesitation in implementing the law and removing all these violations.
