DESPITE the delay of the Minister of Commerce Dr. Abdullah Al-Salman in referring the Director General of the Public Authority for Manpower Ahmed Al-Mousa to investigation for the issuance of his arbitrary decision to bar the renewal of work permits for expatriates who have reached sixty years of age, such a move came as a blessing.

However, this step is considered incomplete by most of the people of this country, as it has to be accompanied by the opening of the “system” to correct the series of major problems caused by unqualified officials through the issuance of decisions that violate the Constitution and the law, and even infringe upon the powers of the government and the National Assembly.

On the other hand, the Cabinet, through its army of legal advisers, should have realized from the start the negative impact this infamous decision would have on the country’s reputation in the international spectrum, as well as the confusing effects of the plan to transform Kuwait into a global financial and commercial hub.
