KUWAIT CITY, April 28: Public Relations and Media Department of the Directorate-General of Fire Department (DGFD) has refuted claims circulating on social media alleging that three force officers were referred to the Prosecution for selling their leave balance for 300,000 dinars, reports Al-Jarida daily. Clarifying the situation, the DGFD stated that an investigation is indeed ongoing regarding the modification of regulations and conditions pertaining to the sale of leave balances for several firefighters. This investigation was initiated following the discovery made by the relevant department within the DGFD. Its purpose is to ensure that no previous violations occurred in prior years, whether involving locals or others.
As a result of administrative action taken by the head of the force, approximately 93,000 dinars, representing the value of leave balances under scrutiny, have been recovered. The DGFD urges individuals to refrain from disseminating inaccurate news and emphasizes the importance of verifying information from reliable sources before sharing it, particularly on official platforms associated with the force. Additionally, the force warns that legal measures will be pursued against individuals found to be spreading false information on this matter.
