Finance minister urges control on government employment, allowances
Dr. Anwar Al-Mudhaf said “the continuous and unjustified growth in employee allowances should not continue.”
Dr. Anwar Al-Mudhaf, Minister of Finance and Minister of State for Economic Affairs and Investment, emphasized the need to overhaul the evaluation of employee performance in government, citing current deficiencies in discipline.
He added that “the continuous and unjustified growth in employee allowances should not continue, especially since the reasons for granting most of them have expired.”
He also stated, “Kuwait is the country in the world that provides the most support, which unfortunately benefits those who do not need it, so it must be reconsidered.”
Al-Mudhaf called for the re-pricing of services provided by government agencies and the re-evaluation of rents for state properties.
