Retain personnel till 70 years of age

KUWAIT CITY, July 21: MP Khalid Al-Enezi warned Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah against referring for retirement the public prosecutors assigned in the Criminal Investigations General Department (CID) upon completion of 30 years in service.

He inquired about the projects included in the budgets of the authority for fiscals 2019/2020, 2020/2021, 2021/2022 and 2022/2023; and why the airconditioning machines in the tennis, squash, handball playgrounds, offices of the secretary and Board of Directors, have not been replaced considering these machines are already obsolete.
