KUWAIT CITY, March 15: The First Instance Court has ruled that a contracting company must pay Kuwaiti citizen 35,000 dinars, along with 7% interest from the date the lawsuit was filed until the payment is fully settled. This decision was made after it was established that the company had violated its contractual obligations concerning a construction project.

The Kuwaiti citizen had agreed with the contracting company to carry out construction work on his property per the agreed technical specifications and the timeline outlined in the contract. However, the company failed to fulfill its obligations, leading the Kuwaiti citizen to take legal action to safeguard his rights.

The affected party sought the counsel of attorney Dalal Al Mulla, who filed an urgent lawsuit requesting the appointment of a technical expert to assess the condition of the property. The expert’s report confirmed that the work performed by the contracting company was defective, incomplete, and in breach of the contract. As a result, the case was referred to a substantive case expert, who concluded that the company’s negligence was evident and that the citizen was entitled to financial compensation, including interest for late payment, calculated from the date the lawsuit was initiated until the full amount is paid.

KUWAIT CITY, July 25: Kuwaiti authorities have arrested 192 individuals in a sweeping security operation targeting residency and labor law violators across the country, officials confirmed today.

The large-scale crackdown, carried out by the General Department of Residence Affairs Investigations, was launched under the directives of His Excellency the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al-Sabah. The campaign was also closely monitored by Acting Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior, Major General Ali Misfer Al-Adwani.

According to the Ministry, the operation focused on several densely populated and high-risk areas, including Jahra, Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh, Mahboula, Al-Qurain Markets, Ahmadi, and Fahaheel — regions often flagged for illegal labor activity and visa violations.

The Ministry of Interior reaffirmed its zero-tolerance stance on violations of Kuwait’s residency and labor laws. Officials stressed that both workers and their employers would be held fully accountable, vowing continued enforcement without leniency.

This latest operation underscores the government’s ongoing commitment to upholding national security and enforcing the rule of law through sustained and targeted campaigns.
