‘Expedite hiring Kuwaitis for supply manager post’

The union stressed the need to prioritize qualified Kuwaiti nationals for the abovementioned position in line with the direction of the state towards increasing the number of citizens working in the cooperative sector, qualifying them to fill supervisory and support positions, and improving institutional performance. It indicated that the position should not be filled by a non-Kuwaiti as long as there is a qualified Kuwaiti candidate, reiterating that qualified Kuwaiti employees in the cooperatives must be prioritized in the nomination and appointment process.

It added that if a qualified citizen is not available for the position, the cooperative society must inform the ministry about the reasons, so that it can coordinate with the relevant authorities to provide a suitable Kuwaiti candidate. It set a 30-day deadline, starting from the date of issuing the circular, for taking the necessary measures in this regard and for informing the relevant authorities about the measures taken.
