KUWAIT CITY, March 5: The Criminal Court sentenced a Kuwaiti mental health doctor in absentia to five years in prison and fined him KD1 million for receiving full salary even if he has been abroad for over 15 years. According to the Legal Department at the Ministry of Health, the doctor has been absent from work for 15 years as he is outside the country; yet he has been receiving his full salary in collusion with another employee in the ministry. As a result, a report was filed at the Public Prosecution and the Criminal Investigations Department in the Interior Ministry conducted investigations. An inquiry into the doctor’s entry and exit from the country led to the discovery that he has been residing in another country for 15 years. The necessary measures were taken against him.
