Fines on vendors: Kuwait Municipality has denied recent rumor saying the sector imposes fines on vendors, reports Al-Rai daily. The statement was in response to a recent question from the Director of Public Authority for Food and Nutrition Essa Al-Kandari regarding KD 100 fine the Municipality is alleged to have imposed on vendors, alleging a letter the Director of Kuwait Municipality sent a letter to the official in charge of the sector stating the fine of KD 100 fine could be raised to KD 500 against people who display items in the streets for sale. Director of Kuwait Municipality pointed out that the decree issued in 1977 on street vending is no longer suitable for the situation at present. Meanwhile, a knowledgeable source said Kuwait Municipality does not have the right to confiscate goods unless they are spoilt. He added Kuwait Municipality obliges the vendor to sign an undertaking to destroy such commodities (vegetable or fruits).
