KUWAIT CITY, May 21: According to governmental sources, ministries and government agencies are still in the process of receiving requests from their employees to sell their leave days, in preparation for their inventory, so that they can know the value of the financial item before addressing the Ministry of Finance to settle the amounts that will be disbursed in exchange for leave days for employees who apply to sell them.
