KUWAIT CITY, Jan 4: Minister of Commerce and Industry Khalifa Al-Ajeel conducted a field visit recently to the newly designated sites and spaces for mobile food trucks, reports Al- Seyassah daily. He was accompanied by Minister of State for Municipal Affairs and Minister of State for Housing Affairs Abdul Latif Hamed Al-Mishari and Minister of Public Works Dr. Noura Mohammad Al-Mashaan.
a press statement issued following the visit, Al-Ajeel explained that the ministry is continuing its regulatory efforts to develop the mobile food truck sector, aiming to create a fairer and more sustainable business environment and improve the quality of services provided. The ministry’s procedures are guided by a fundamental objective, which is supporting entrepreneurs and legitimate business owners who comply with the law and approved regulations. Protecting the interests of compliant entrepreneurs is a top regulatory priority. He highlighted the importance of shielding serious business owners from practices that create unfair competition or harm their opportunities, ensuring that licenses are not exploited at the expense of those who follow the law.
The minister said the ministry has revoked over 1,100 mobile food truck licenses due to inactivity, expired licenses, or failure to meet regulatory requirements, as part of a comprehensive plan to streamline commercial registrations. He stressed that while supporting legitimate projects, the ministry is enforcing strict oversight measures to address violations and prevent any misuse or exploitation of licenses.
Al-Ajeel noted that five new locations for mobile food trucks will be designated this month, which will be strategically distributed across several regions to ensure fair access and facilitate monitoring and regulation. He concluded by reaffirming the ministry’s commitment to developing regulatory and oversight frameworks that serve the public interest and strengthen confidence in the business environment
