Kuwait authorities push to overcome infrastructure hurdles in new housing developments.
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 5: Some lawyers have filed a direct constitutional challenge before the Constitutional Court against Decree-Law No. 83/2025, which repealed Article 29-bis of Law No. 47/1993 concerning housing care, titled “Whoever Sold His Home.” The repealed article, introduced under Law No. 2/2015, allowed citizens who had previously sold their homes to reapply for housing through usufruct or rental arrangements, subject to specific conditions, including full repayment of the housing loan granted by the Kuwait Credit Bank. The decree justified the repeal by citing a “violation of the principle of justice and equal opportunity,” explaining in its memorandum that the previous article caused unjustified discrimination among citizens and exacerbated the housing application crisis, depriving those who had not previously obtained housing rights.
