This came during a press conference held by Minister Al-Saleh with local media (remote) after the extraordinary meeting of the Council of Ministers headed by His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, Prime Minister.

He stressed that the costs of deportations will not be borne by the state’s public treasury and will be borne by the sponsors of violators of the Residence Law in implementation of the legal procedures followed in this regard.

He explained that “the Kuwaiti government spent some expenses related to deportation, but I confirm that it is unacceptable that the public money bear the cost of deporting violators. Whoever commits the crime has to bear the punishment and consequences,” without saying, “The Public Authority for Manpower was addressed to liquidate the insurance allocated for employment to pay the deportation fees either.”

Regarding the expenses outside Kuwait, the government will not bear these expenses. It is noteworthy that the Minister of the Interior issued on March 30 a decision to allow violators of the residency law to leave the country without paying any financial fines incurred on them as well as without incurring the costs of travel and airline tickets in light of the exceptional circumstances that the country is going through as a result of the spread of the Corona virus
