Cabinet decree establishes grievance committee for citizenship revocation

Al-Dhubaibi named head of grievance committee

KUWAIT: The Kuwaiti Cabinet issued a decree on Tuesday establishing a grievance committee to review cases of citizenship withdrawal and revocation. The committee is tasked with receiving and examining grievances submitted by individuals whose Kuwaiti citizenship has been revoked or withdrawn, formulating necessary recommendations, and presenting proposals in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and decisions.

The committee will convene at the General Secretariat of the Cabinet but may hold meetings at other locations as determined by its chairman. Meetings will be called by the chairman as needed and will be considered valid if attended by an absolute majority of members, including either the chairman or his deputy. Deliberations will remain confidential, and decisions will be issued by an absolute majority of those present.

During its inaugural session, the committee will establish its operational framework and set timelines for addressing matters within its jurisdiction. It is authorized to request information from relevant entities, which are required to cooperate. The committee’s tenure is set at one year from its first meeting, with the possibility of extension by Cabinet decision as necessary.

The committee is chaired by Counselor Ali Musaed Ali Al-Dhubaibi, with Abdulwahab Abdulrahman Yousef Al-Muzaini serving as vice president. Other members include Counselor Khaled Abdulrahman Ahmed Al-Baker, Jamal Khalifa Al-Reesh, and Fawaz Suleiman Al-Mashaan. The decree takes immediate effect from its issuance and will be published in the Official Gazette. — KUNA
