Deputy Director General for Hawalli and Al-Ahmadi Governorates Sector Affairs at Kuwait Municipality Fahad Al-Shatili confirmed the intensification of inspection tours and control campaigns in all governorates on private and investment housing areas to prevent the use of basements as warehouses in violation of regulations and laws. In a press statement today, Wednesday, after presiding over the joint meeting with the Deputy Chief of the General Fire Brigade for the Prevention Sector, Major General Khaled Fahd, and the directors of the municipality’s branches in all governorates, Al-Shatili said that using basements as warehouses poses a danger to lives and property if they are used for purposes other than those for which they are licensed.

For his part, Major General Fahd stated, according to the statement, that the implementation of the joint inspection campaigns will target real estate in private and investment housing, after it was found through monitoring and follow-up to the use of basements in private and investment housing for a purpose other than what was authorized. At the conclusion of the meeting, they called on the supervisory teams not to be lenient by taking all legal measures against violators and to deter anyone who might be tempted to endanger lives and property.
