Nine stripped of Kuwaiti citizenship

This Tuesday morning, the Supreme Committee for Investigating Kuwaiti Nationality announced the revocation of citizenship of nine individuals.

The decision, published in the supplement of the Official Gazette, Kuwait Al-Yawm, is based on the provisions of Article 11 of Amiri Decree No. 15 of 1959, which outlines the legal framework for Kuwaiti nationality and its subsequent amendments, according to Al-Jarida daily.

The article in question grants the competent authorities the right to revoke Kuwaiti citizenship from individuals if it is determined that it was obtained through fraud, false statements, or if the individual has carried out actions deemed harmful to the interests or security of the State.

The decision reflects the committee’s ongoing efforts to ensure the integrity of national identity and to address any irregularities related to the acquisition of citizenship.

As of now, no specific details regarding the identities of the individuals or the reasons behind the revocation were provided in the statement.

However, such decisions typically follow thorough investigations and legal reviews, emphasizing the government’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and preserving national sovereignty.
