Plan To Evict Bachelors From All Family Buildings Kuwait Municipality has initiated steps to inspect the private accommodations built for families to evict the bachelors from these buildings, while applying severe sanctions against the owners of real estates in this regard, reports Al-Rai daily. Sources were quoted as saying the Municipality, in coordination with some ministries and emergency teams formed through the joint committees are currently studying administrative procedures that allow the bachelors to stay in family residences. The sources added the sector minister Salem Al-Uthaina has since asked the Director General of Kuwait Municipality Ahmad Al- Subaih to be accurate on the issuance of citations and set deadline for the owners of real estates to evict all bachelors from family buildings. Meanwhile, the Municipality is about to establish the unified regulations project that makes special provisions for the issuance of all kinds of citations with directions for inspection teams that enter the buildings and real estates for checking, as stipulated by Law 17/1960. In another unrelated development, the Chairman of Expatriate Workers Office at the Kuwait Labor Union Federation Abdulrahman Al- Ghanim has warned against the dangers of treating expatriate workers oppressively to cover the failure of the government in solving the problems faced by the workers and reforming the Kuwaiti labor market, reports Al-Seyassah daily. Al-Ghanim revealed this in the third report titled ‘Confusion over Government Handling the Workers’ File’, which was issued to express the views of the federation regarding the issues faced by the expatriate workers. He indicated that the new administration in the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor have been troubling expatriates in order to avoid confrontation with selfish people. He criticized the deportation of expatriate workers and oppressive treatment against them, which makes them feel humiliated and unwanted. Al-Ghanim indicated that the decision to deport 100,000 expatriate workers annually has increased the cost of recruiting workers, which serves the interests of the visa traders, stressing that the current sponsorship law negatively affects the image of Kuwait.
