KUWAIT CITY, Dec 6: Despite the Municipal Council’s demand to implement Shops Regulation Article No. 8 of 2015 to stop the activity of offices and shops selling, displaying and renting cars in investment and commercial areas, the Kuwait Municipality tours discovered the Ministry of Commerce continues to renew the licenses, reports Al-Jarida daily. The Municipality added the head of the emergency team department of its Hawalli branch Ibrahim Al-Saba’an administratively closed 6 such offices, and issued 13 violations for various reasons in the Salmiya and Hawalli districts over the past week.

Al-Saba’an told the several violations were issued for exploiting shops for purposes other than the purpose for which licenses are given. He indicated some shops which buy, sell and rent cars in the investment areas do not have the license to carry out the business. The license they hold, although is renewed and valid, is issued for a different activity. Meanwhile, the Kuwait Oil Company has announced 15 diploma holders Kuwaitis have been hired as part of the announcement made by the company to employ this category of national workers in the technical fields, reports Al-Anba daily
