KUWAIT CITY, Dec 26: Ministry of Justice is considering ending the services of 560 experts in the ministry before the end of this year based on the verdict of the Court of Cassation, reports Al-Qabas daily quoting informed sources.

They indicated that these employees will not receive end-ofservice indemnity for the period they held the positions. In this regard, Director of Experts Department in Ministry of Justice Khalid Al-Dakhil explained that the department respects the court verdict but is also keen to preserve the rights of the affected experts. The ministry is taking necessary procedures with the concerned government bodies to execute the court verdict.

Meanwhile, sources indicated that the government is searching for a way to solve the problem, which might lead to the referral of two former ministers of Justice to the Ministerial Court.

They said the government had submitted a request to the Constitutional Court for an explanation of the aforementioned verdict but it later withdrew the request after being advised that such a request will put the government in a worse embarrassing situation.

In addition, a number of the affected experts urged the Court of Cassation and the National Assembly to find a way to solve their problem in consideration of their social and financial situation, stressing that it is not fair that they have to bear responsibility for errors that they did not commit
