Al-Huwail emphasized the necessity of adhering to decisions on the Kuwaitization of jobs and the placement of national cadres, as well as complying with the regulations and labor systems approved by the Public Authority for Manpower. She also highlighted the importance of maintaining high standards of cleanliness within cooperative societies and central markets, and ensuring the quality, type, and safety of goods to safeguard consumers’ rights.
She confirmed that any board of directors found to be non-compliant with ministerial circulars, decisions, and prevailing requirements would face firm measures, including dissolution of the board in accordance with the law.
She added that the ministry would continue its supervisory and field monitoring activities to ensure the implementation of decisions, stressing that the phase of issuing warnings without enforcement has ended, and that accountability will be enforced on the ground without exception or leniency.
