KUWAIT CITY, July 10: The Kuwait Municipality has denied issuing any kind of ‘warning notice,’ clarifying that “what was published by social media channels is baseless,” reports Al- Seyassah daily. The supposed notice warned against placing items such as cabinets, children’s toys, shoes, or other objects in front of apartments or on residential building stairs. This applied to both rental apartments and commercial properties. Building watchmen were tasked with removing any such obstructions to prevent fines of 500 dinars for the owners of the rental units.

Additionally, landlords and building watchmen may face legal consequences for violating safety regulations pertaining to individuals, property, and public facilities. The Municipality emphasized the need for accuracy in publishing and obtaining information from official sources.

In response, Al-Seyassah newspaper promptly published the Municipality’s clarification and confirmed that the news on the newspaper’s X platform was not malicious. The report was based on a document that the editor believed to be valid and issued by an official body, which the newspaper holds in high regard for its efforts and those of other official bodies in monitoring violations and taking legal measures accordingly.
