KUWAIT: The newly formed Ahmadi Governorate Council held its first session on Monday, outlining plans for how it will support the governorate’s development and its community needs. The meeting was chaired by Governor Sheikh Humoud Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah at the Sheikh Ahmed Al-Jaber Oil and Gas Exhibition, with representatives from government agencies and three citizen members present.
The council was established following the Cabinet’s approval in May 2025, under Decree No. 151 of 2024, which created Governorate Councils across all six of Kuwait’s governorates. These councils are designed to support governors in managing local affairs and improving public services.
Sheikh Humoud highlighted the council’s key role in advancing development efforts and improving public services in Ahmadi. “Our work plan includes monitoring government development projects in the governorate and enhancing the quality of public services,” he said. “We will also assess the needs for new facilities, address citizens’ complaints, and encourage initiatives aimed at improving our community.”
In addition to overseeing infrastructure and public service projects, the council will collaborate closely with the Ministry of Interior to maintain security and public order. It will also supervise environmental safety and public health efforts, and promote educational, social, and volunteer activities within the community.
To manage its work efficiently, the council formed specialized subcommittees during the session. These include the Public Services Committee, the Complaints and Suggestions Committee, and the Government Projects Follow-up Committee. Sheikh Humoud praised the strong cooperation from government bodies involved and emphasized their shared commitment to sustainable development across the governorate. — Agencies
