Sources emphasized to Al-Anbaa newspaper the urgency of expediting the Kuwaitization of the Civil Service Council’s administration. They disclosed that the Council Affairs Department currently employs 14 individuals, of whom eight are non-Kuwaiti.
Sources elaborated on the urgency of this step within the framework of the Civil Service Council’s decision system, which mandates all ministries, government agencies, and institutions to fully Kuwaitize their functional groups.
The sources continued, stating, “This includes delegating responsibilities to their nationals and appointing suitable candidates based on their skills and expertise in the relevant field.”
They emphasized that implementing this policy contributes to enhancing effectiveness and efficiency, boosting confidence in job performance, improving discipline and accountability, and reducing the risk of corruption and wasteful practices.
