The Cabinet approved, during its weekly meeting chaired by His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah Al-Salim Al-Sabah, a draft decree-law amending certain provisions of Law No. (27) of 1995 concerning the contribution of the private sector’s activities to the development of state-owned vacant lands for residential care purposes. The aim is to transfer a portion of the lands allocated by the state to the Public Authority for Housing Welfare to other state entities, as public interest dictates, and to enable the private sector’s participation in developing state-owned vacant lands.
The draft decree-law complements Law No. (47) of 1993 concerning residential care and its amendments, as well as Law No. (118) of 2023 on the establishment of companies for building cities or residential areas and developing them economically, as amended by Decree-Law No. (89) of 2025.
The Cabinet forwarded the draft decree-law amending certain provisions of Law No. (27) of 1995 concerning the contribution of the private sector’s activities to the development of state-owned vacant lands for residential care purposes to His Highness the Amir of Kuwait, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.
