AGAIN we highlight the issue of travel bans being imposed on citizens who fail to pay debts as low as KD1,000 or even  KD300.  This travel ban, which is applicable only in Kuwait, is like a sword on the necks of citizens.
Citizens who have not paid their loans should not be prohibited from traveling outside the country because they are not involved in criminal cases. 
Moreover, non-payment of debts is not tantamount to theft, embezzlement or swindling.
Do the proponents of this restriction believe that a citizen, who has not paid loans amounting to KD1,000 or less, will leave everything behind, including business and property to avoid payment of a small debt he has been forced to obtain due to a temporary financial problem?
We have to stop this foolishness which ‘slaughters’ Kuwaitis mercilessly.  Forgive us!
