Kuwait withdraws citizenship of 15 people
Two Amiri decrees and one ministerial decision have been issued to withdraw Kuwaiti citizenship from 15 individuals.
The first decree revoked the citizenship of two people, and the second of ten others, including those who had obtained through dependency.
This is in addition to a separate decision ordering the withdrawal of citizenship certificates from three people, along with their dependents, in accordance with Article 21 (bis a) of Amiri Decree No. 15 of 1959 on the Citizenship Law and its amendments, reports Al-Rai daily.
The cited article stipulates that “the Kuwaiti citizenship certificate shall be withdrawn if it is found to have been granted unlawfully based on fraud, false statements, or incorrect certificates.”
The latest decisions reflect the government’s continued enforcement of citizenship regulations to ensure compliance with legal and procedural standards.
