KUWAIT CITY, April 3: As the Supreme Committee for Nationality Investigation intensifies its efforts to address the issues of counterfeiting and dual citizenship files, a government source has disclosed that 231 cases are currently under the microscope, reports Al-Qabas daily. These cases, once thoroughly reviewed, will be presented to the Council of Ministers for necessary action. Family inheritance disputes have brought to light instances of nationality forgery, where individuals unrelated to the deceased have falsely claimed inheritance rights by illicitly acquiring Kuwaiti citizenship.

Reports from concerned citizens have unveiled a pattern of manipulation, forgery, and submission of false documents aimed at fraudulently obtaining citizenship. Such cases have been referred to the Public Prosecution for legal action. The source emphasized the meticulous scrutiny being applied by the Supreme Committee for Nationality and the Ministry of Interior, under strict regulations, to verify all citizenship files.

Adherence to the law and adherence to established procedures are paramount, ensuring that decisions are made only upon irrefutable evidence, say the sources. With directives from higher authorities, zero tolerance towards any form of tampering within citizenship files is emphasized. Targeted measures are being implemented to rectify any damage to national identity, reflecting the government’s commitment to upholding integrity in citizenship matters. In recent weeks, over 211 nationalities have been revoked by the Supreme Committee for Nationality, signaling ongoing efforts to uncover fraudulent practices and maintain the sanctity of Kuwaiti citizenship.
