He also noted that this would ensure migrant worker rights and help in efforts to avoid their marginalization in society by achieving social inclusion and creating a healthy environment of coexistence.<\/p>\n<p>Al-Shammari said that he had presented his proposal to the former Minister of Municipality, Abdulaziz Al-Mujil, and to members and committees of the Municipal Council, and to the Lawyers\u2019 Association. He highlighted that to achieve a successful implementation of the proposal, it would require integration between the areas Cooperative Society, the workforce, and the Kuwait Municipality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE TIMES KUWAIT REPORT Housing expatriate bachelors in Kuwaiti residential areas has been a contentious topic of discussion among citizens due to the overcrowding in these areas.
