KUWAIT CITY, Aug 8: According to informed sources, a total of 1,900 Kuwaiti men and women who were nominated by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) for jobs in government agencies either refused the job opportunities that were offered to them or their applications were rejected by those agencies. They explained that CSC had anticipated this issue and took steps to prevent certain government agencies from refusing to appoint the nominated individuals.

A circular was sent to ministries and government agencies to confirm that the Civil Service Council’s approval makes nominations for any government agency.
