KUWAIT CITY, April 4: In a significant development, the Supreme Committee for the Investigation of Kuwaiti Citizenship, led by Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, and Acting Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahd Al-Yousef, has issued three decisions resulting in the loss of Kuwaiti citizenship for 30 individuals. These decisions, published in the Al-Kuwait Al-Youm newspaper, were made under Articles 9, 10, and 11 of Amiri Decree No. 15 of 1959, which governs the Kuwaiti Nationality Law and its amending laws, following the committee's approval.
The move underscores the committee's commitment to upholding the integrity of Kuwaiti citizenship and ensuring adherence to relevant legal provisions. While the specific reasons for the revocations were not disclosed, it is evident that the decisions were made by established legal frameworks.
This action serves as a reminder of the importance placed on citizenship rights and responsibilities within Kuwait's legal and administrative systems. The Supreme Committee's authority in matters about citizenship underscores its role in safeguarding the nation's identity and sovereignty.
As the details of the decisions are made public, they are expected to prompt discussions regarding the criteria and procedures for citizenship revocations, as well as broader debates surrounding citizenship and nationality laws in Kuwait.
