In her latest tirade against expatriates, outspoken lawmaker Safaa al-Hashem announced a long list of conditions under which expatriates could face deportation.
Saying that the large number of expatriates in Kuwait was a threat to the stability and security of the country, she called for all residence permits to limited to five years, and to have expatriates expelled for the following reasons:
- Those who stay behind even after their residence permit has expired
- Those who work for someone else other than the sponsor of their residence permit
- Those who are engaged in a work other than that stated in the residence permit
- Construction workers over the age of 40 or who suffer from any disability or illness
- Teachers and workers in private schools who do not have the residence permit of the educational institution where they currently work
- Those who hold any expired official document should also be fined KD500
- Those who commit three traffic violations
- Those who provide shelter to illegal residents
- Those who have judicial rulings against them, even if they have served their sentence, or they have been pardoned.
- Family members should also be deported along with a deportee
- The deportee should be blacklisted and prevented from entering Kuwait again
