Deputy Minister of Justice Awatef Al-Sand announced the launch of the second phase of the “Kuwaitization” plan for supporting judicial positions, specifically the role of investigation secretary in the Public Prosecution and other positions, including notary, legal researcher, administrative coordinator, and judgment executor, across several departments of the Ministry. This follows the completion of the first phase and aims to strengthen reliance on national competencies within the justice sector.
Al-Sand told KUNA that the second phase involves phasing out the services of 62 non-Kuwaiti employees working in the departments of Criminal Execution, External Communications, the Office of the Public Prosecutor, Criminal Courts, Notarization, Real Estate Registration, Sharia Notarizations, and Administrative Development and Planning, after completing the training and qualification of alternative national cadres to assume the targeted roles.
She emphasized the Ministry’s commitment to implementing the Kuwaitization plan gradually and in an organized manner that maintains the continuity of work in the Ministry’s departments and ensures a smooth and efficient transfer of tasks to national cadres.
She added that the first phase involved phasing out the services of 54 non-Kuwaiti employees holding positions as court session secretaries, legal researchers, and administrative coordinators in the departments of the Court of First Instance, Court of Appeal, Court of Cassation, and the Constitutional Court.
Al-Sand noted that the Ministry aims to complete the second phase and fully Kuwaitize the supporting judicial positions covered by the plan by the end of December 2026.
She stated that the plan is implemented pursuant to the High Command issued by His Highness the Amir, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, regarding the Kuwaitization of positions in the judicial authority, under the supervision of Minister of Justice Advisor Nasser Al-Sameet, to enhance the presence of national competencies and empower them to fulfill their role in the justice sector.
