KUWAIT: Thirteen expatriate teachers were arrested while giving private tuition illegally at a coffee shop, labor inspectors said yesterday. They include eight working for the private sector, four working in public schools and one on a dependent visa, said Mohammed Al-Thufairi, Head of the Manpower Public Authority’s inspection team.

They were arrested during a crackdown carried out as per instructions of Minister of Social Affairs and Labor Hind Al- Subaih and in collaboration with the Interior Ministry’s residency affairs detectives, Thufairi added.

No parks

Municipal Council member and head of Farwaniya committee Nayef Al-Sour said that Ardiya and Sabah Al-Nasser do not have any parks for residents to relax. Accordingly, Sour demanded building two parks in those areas, especially since other areas include at least one or two parks. Separately, Municipal Council member and head of Hawally committee Yousif Al-Ghareeb demanded building speed bumps outside Failaka primary school for girls in Salwa in order to protect the schoolgirls and their parents from speeding cars.
