KUWAIT: Head of the Kuwait Engineers Society Faisal Al-Atil said the municipality minister will cooperate with Civil Service Commission to pay the allowances of engineers in the Municipality after a suspension of 13 months. "The minister promised to present and approve the allowances of municipal engineers at the meeting of the Civil Service Council, which will be held on Thursday.

The allowances that were discussed with the minister for approval and the establishment of a permanent mechanism for their disbursement include site allowance, judicial control allowance, and hazard, pollution and noise allowances, which are allowances that engineers deserve," Atil said at a press conference.

"I informed the minister that the society had received repeated complaints from municipal engineers and assistant engineers of material and moral damage due to the non-payment of allowances to them on a regular basis without explanation, although these allowances are approved in accordance with the decisions of the Civil Service Commission regarding jobs, allowances and rewards for Kuwaiti engineers," he added.

He hoped the CSC will establish a fixed mechanism for the disbursement of these allowances and the disbursement of site allowances to engineers and occupants of engineering jobs on a regular and uninterrupted basis.
