99% Kuwaitization in Kuwait General Administration of Customs

 Kuwait General Administration of Customs confirmed that its Kuwaitization rate has reached 99 percent, indicating this is part of its strategy to develop the skills of the national workforce in a bid to make them fully qualified for their jobs, reports Al-Anba daily. The administration made the announcement in response to rumors spread on social media that it has terminated the Kuwaiti consultants.

The administration then clarified that the rumor may have stemmed from the decision of the Civil Service Commission on the return of seconded consultants to their original employers starting from Dec 31, 2021. The administration took the necessary steps for the return of some seconded Kuwaiti consultants to the Legal Advice and Legislation Department. Due to its need for a consultant, the administration later hired an expatriate — its only consultant at present. The administration also affirmed its commitment to clarify rumors in order to ensure the smooth flow of work.
