KUWAIT CITY, Jan 31: For decades, the government has struggled to make the policy of “Kuwaitization” of its public jobs a success, but the results do not refl ect the desired goals, which hinder any steps to reduce the number of expatriates and replace them with citizens, reports Al- Qabas daily.

The deadline set by the Civil Service Council, in its decision issued in 2017, according to which government agencies are obliged to adopt a policy of “annual Kuwaitization” for public jobs and to acquire this estimated percentage in 5 years did not happen after 6 months of the deadline. The “Kuwaitization” vision is still blurry, while the Civil Service Commission continues to address all public sector entities, with the need to move forward with the replacement policy, the latest of which is its address to the Kuwait University which is required to replace 244 employees.
