A number of managers at the Kuwait Ports Corporation called for an end to administrative tampering, abuses and violation of job regulations, pointing out that some influential people mediate to appoint the least qualified at the expense of national cadres.
Al-Qabas sources said that these managers have submitted a letter requesting to meet the Prime Minister to present their demands and complaints, stressing that the regulations do not apply with a single rule to everyone, and accountability is absent, indicating that there are decisions of appointment, transfer and delegation that took place after the resignation of the government despite the instructions of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) to the contrary.
They pointed to the need to stop tampering because of the deviation that the maritime facility is going through and is managed according to whims, political satisfactions, and personal interests at the expense of the public interest.
The managers expressed their dissatisfaction with the transfer of some employees to the ports, and the interference of nepotism by some deputies and ministers at the expense of national competencies.
The managers said in the petition, of which Al-Qabas obtained a copy: “The serious defect the ports are witnessing is represented in the failure to implement the laws and regulations governing the functional relationship of the corporation’s employees in the correct and proper manner, and the accompanying waste of the corporation’s public funds.”
