KUWAIT: A nationwide security campaign has been launched to address and crackdown on individuals violating residency and labour laws. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the country’s security framework and enforce regulations that govern the presence and employment of foreign workers. The campaign is a response to the increasing number of violations that have been identified, including illegal residency permits and employment practices that contravene the law.
Authorities have vowed to step up their efforts in ensuring that both local and foreign workers adhere strictly to the residency and labour laws. This includes checking for illegal workers who are overstaying their visas or engaging in employment without the required documentation. The campaign will target areas with high concentrations of expatriate workers, such as construction sites, industrial zones, and other workplaces that may be prone to non-compliance.
In addition to penalizing those found violating laws, the campaign is also focused on educating the public about the importance of abiding by the legal frameworks. Employers who are found hiring workers without proper documentation face heavy penalties, and awareness programs are being conducted to prevent these violations. The authorities are also working with businesses and communities to help ensure compliance across all sectors.
The campaign has already begun yielding results, with numerous arrests and fines being imposed on violators. Authorities are stressing the importance of cooperation from the public to make this initiative successful and are urging anyone with information about illegal activities to report them. With the campaign gaining momentum, officials are optimistic that it will lead to a significant reduction in violations and enhance the overall security of the nation.
