He affirmed the department conducts inspections regularly to ensure that citizens employed in the private sector are in their work places, warning that punitive measures will be taken against ‘fake’ appointments in the private sector such as closure of the erring employer’s file.

He also unveiled a plan to cancel the decision to exempt certain professions from the national worker percentage policy and deprive entrepreneurs dealing with the government of corresponding privileges if they do not meet the required percentage of Kuwaiti employees for the implementation of their projects.

He went on to say the department received more than 37,000 transactions in less than six months.
