04 January 2016 Kuwait

Exapts will be deported for violating Environmental Laws

The Interior Ministry warned that violators of environmental laws will face tough action, including deportation for expat offenders. Interior Ministry Undersecretary Maj Gen Suleiman Fahd Al-Fahd said environment police are determined to implement ministerial decision no. 1129 due to its integral role in implementing the environment protection law in cooperation and coordination with concerned authorities.

Strict measures will be taken against anyone who does not comply with the environment protection law. An expat who does not comply with the environment law will face all procedures mentioned in the law and immediate deportation from the country, while a Kuwaiti offender will be taken to court.

Action will be taken against damaging seasonal plants and flowers at public parks by plucking or uprooting them. No smoking will be allowed in places other than designated areas due to the environmental and health problems it causes for all. 

However the ministry’s PR and security media department clarified that expats would not be deported for violating smoking bans and they would only be fined in accordance to the law.
