KUWAIT: Director General of the Investigations Department Major General Fahd Al-Dousari gave directors of investigations authorities that were previously limited to the director general only, in order to get rid of bureaucracy and expedite cases. Dousary authorized investigations directors to temporarily shelve cases when the culprit is not known, and authorized them to issue “to whom it may concern” certificates in cases registered in their domain, based on applications submitted to them, instead of referring applicants to the directorate general. — Al-Rai

‘Mandoubs’ renamed: The Manpower Public Authority issued a circular to amend the term ‘mandoub’ given to representatives of companies who carry out labor transactions with the relevant passports and social affairs ministry authorities, to ‘general mandoub.’ The title is given to the representative of every company that has more than 25 workers registered in their files, and not according to the estimated number needed. A second ‘mandoub’ designation can be given if the number of employees exceed 100. — Al-Anbaa
