KUWAIT CITY, Aug 9: The Ministry of Electricity and Water (MEW) is planning to request academic certificates from its technical and administrative employees, both citizens and residents, who obtained their qualifications from the year 2000 onward. These certificates will be reviewed by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) to verify their authenticity and combat forgery. According to informed sources, this request follows CSC’s request to collect complete data on the higher academic qualifications of all employees, as the ministry falls under CSC’s oversight. If any forged certificates are found, the appointments of those individuals will be canceled, and legal action will be taken against them. This aims to enhance job efficiency, uphold the principle of fairness, and enforce the highest standards of integrity and credibility within ministries and government agencies.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy has started the comprehensive review of service fees and audit of employees’ academic qualifications, as part of its ongoing effort to ensure fairness and efficiency. In line with its commitment to guarantee fair pricing for essential services, the ministry is conducting a detailed study on electricity and water supply costs, including connection and reconnection procedures.

Undersecretary of the ministry Dr. Adel Al- Zamel issued a decision to form a specialized committee, led by Assistant Undersecretary for the Electricity Distribution Networks Sector Eng. Khaled Al-Rashed. The committee has been tasked to review Ministerial Resolution No. 121/2017 and propose amendments based on the results of the evaluation of service costs for all consumer categories.
