KUWAIT: Minister of Social Affairs and Labor and Minister of State for Planning and Development Hind Al-Subaih yesterday issued two decisions on dissolving two charities. According to the decisions, one of the charities was dissolved upon its officials' request because they do not have enough time nor funding to keep it running, whereas the second was dissolved for violating charity rules. Munira Al-Kandari, Charities Department Director at the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor said that 80 citations had been reported in 2015 about unlicensed or unauthorized expat individuals collecting charity donations and that special measures were taken against them and against their sponsors.

Abuse of power

Following up a previous complaint about two senior officials at the citizen service centers who had been abusing their powers against female employees, the chairman of the Ministry of Interior's civilian employees syndicate Bader Al-Enezi stressed that despite the complaint filed against them, one of the officials summoned the female employees and interrogated them in an attempt to intimidate them.

Landfill sites

The cabinet's committee for rehabilitating landfill sites urged the municipality to contact the municipal council to reallocate liquid industrial waste landfill sites along Mina Abdullah and Wafra road. In this regard, committee chairman Lt Gen Mohammed Al-Bader pointed out that the municipal council decided allocating the site after waiving it for the Public Authority for Industry and PAAAFR.
