KUWAIT CITY, June 21: Emergency and Rapid Intervention Team Leader and Rapporteur of the committee tasked to reduce the number of bachelors in private and model housing areas at the Kuwait Municipality branch in the Capital Governorate Zaid Al-Enezi revealed that the committee is currently completing procedures to reclaim the rights of the State from real estate property owners and investors who violated the regulations; particularly the growing number of expatriate bachelors residing in these properties, reports Al-Rai daily. Al-Enezi confirmed in an interview with the daily that the ‘real estate mafia’ has been obstructing the committee’s work.

He said the higher leadership is keen on protecting the rights of citizens and the State. He warned the fine for such violations is exorbitant; hence, the need to correct them before the inspection teams uncover such unscrupulous acts. He urged the real estate property owners and investors to fully abide by the regulations and laws, stressing that the inspection of real estate properties in private and model housing areas will continue. He added the representatives of the committee are imposing penalties on the spot; especially since there have been a lot of violations related to housing for bachelors, tampering energy networks, construction and sewage irregularities.
