No IDs for ‘bachelors’

KUWAIT: Kuwait Municipality Director General Ahmad Al-Manfouhi explained the current procedures in cooperation with other government bodies to evict “bachelors” from private and model residence areas. Manfouhi said in a video display at the ministerial committee of the Council of Ministers that the government asked the Public Authority for Civil Information to take necessary action to prevent issuance of civil IDs to single men for any address within private residence areas. He said there were previous government recommendations to allocate land to build temporary residence for company workers. He added the Cabinet asked the Public Authority for Manpower to coordinate with all government authorities to allow contracted companies to provide suitable residences for their workers within the area allocated for the project until the labor cities are ready. — Al-Rai
