KUWAIT CITY, May 22: Kuwait Municipality has launched a series of field inspection campaigns in Mubarak Al-Kabeer Governorate to enforce regulations prohibiting the operation of charitable societies within private and model residential areas.

Head of the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Municipality team, Abdulwahab Al-Ameeri, told KUNA that municipal field teams have recently identified and issued warnings to 15 charitable societies and organizations found operating in violation of zoning regulations.

“Today’s inspection tour covered the areas of Sabah Al-Salem, Al-Qurain, Al-Fintas, and the coastal strip to confirm that all previously warned premises had been vacated,” Al-Ameeri stated, adding that the team had verified compliance in those areas.

He praised the swift cooperation of charity operators in vacating the properties following the warnings, and noted that the teams are also addressing other violations, including unauthorized outdoor advertisements and iron mesh installations on some residences.

Al-Ameeri emphasized that the inspection teams have adopted a strict approach from the outset of the campaign and will continue to enforce all legal measures against violators of Kuwait Municipality’s regulations.

The campaign is in line with Ministerial Resolution No. 206/2009, which prohibits the use of buildings in private and model residential zones for purposes other than private housing. The municipality’s enforcement actions aim to implement this regulation by ensuring that all branches of charitable organizations are removed from such residential areas.
