• An official source from the Kuwait Municipality stated that the reward for excellent work amounts to approximately one million and 300 thousand dinars, which will be distributed among about 2,500 male and female employees.

Engineer Saud Al-Dabbous, the Director General of the Kuwait Municipality, has instructed emergency teams in the governorate branches to start conducting inspection tours of commercial stores that are encroaching on state property, particularly in dirt yards, squares, and on sidewalks.

Informed sources from the Al-Rai municipality reported that the rate of illegal exploitation of vacant lots belonging to state property has exceeded 55 percent in the lowest governorate, according to statistics, which is a rather high percentage.
