Kuwait Confiscates 300,000 Expat Driving Licenses

Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior has formed a new committee to withdraw driving licenses from expats who hold a salary of less than KWD600 and those who do not have a university degree, according to a report by the Arabic daily Al-Jarida.

The ministry will reportedly implement its decision to “deal with traffic jams,” the report said, adding that the committee was formed by First Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Interior and Acting Minister of Defense, Sheikh Talal Al-Khalid.

However, the report said that traffic crisis is solved by improving roads and building bridges and tunnels, not by discriminatory decisions, citing private sources.
