43 Female Lawyers with Revoked Nationality Allowed to Continue Practicing
The President of the Association, Adnan Abel, stated that this decision followed a thorough examination of the legal aspects, joint coordination with relevant authorities, and consideration of issued decrees and Cabinet Resolution No. 67/2025.

The Association's Secretary, Khaled Al-Suwaifan, clarified that the decision applies to 43 female lawyers.

Kuwait launches 2025-2030 youth strategic plan
KUWAIT: Minister of Information and Culture and Minister of State for Youth Affairs Abdulrahman Al-Mutairi on Tuesday unveiled the Public Authority for Youth's new strategic plan for 2025-2030, outlining five key priorities aimed at empowering young Kuwaitis. The strategy focuses on Leadership, Employment, and Entrepreneurship; Community Engagement; Culture, Innovation, and Creativity; Health and Wellbeing; and Governance and Resource Development. Speaking during a visual presentation at the Government Communication Center, Al-Mutairi described the plan as 'a clear and ambitious roadmap' aligned with the vision of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, His Highness the Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, and the directives of His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Al-Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah. Coinciding with International Youth Day, the strategy introduces 23 initiatives developed through extensive consultations with youth and experts, reflecting what Al-Mutairi called the 'active and pivotal role' of young people in building security, stability, and prosperity. Under the Leadership, Employment, and Entrepreneurship priority, the plan seeks to qualify 3,000 young leaders, offer career guidance to 5,000 youth, and run 30 entrepreneurship programs. It will also launch major projects, including the Kuwait Tech Hub for Entrepreneurship and the Kuwait Creative Industries Complex. For Community Engagement, the authority aims to register 15,000 volunteers on the national 'Ayadina' platform and support 100 youth-led initiatives. The Culture, Innovation, and Creativity priority will involve 4,000 youth in cultural events and provide three annual incubator programs for creative projects. The Health and Wellbeing pillar will promote healthy lifestyles, raise environmental awareness, and boost youth participation in peace and security issues. Meanwhile, the Governance and Resource Development track targets 100 percent digitization of services and increasing self-generated revenues to ensure program sustainability. Al-Mutairi noted that the strategy was shaped by reviewing the previous plan, analyzing 75 local and international reference documents, holding 19 specialized workshops, and consulting academics and experts. It adopts a 'three-lens methodology,' placing youth as leaders, partners, and beneficiaries. The minister underscored the importance of partnerships with the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Higher Education, National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters, and other institutions to expand opportunities and unify national efforts in youth service. He praised the support of government, private sector, and civil society partners, calling them 'the winning bet,' and urged young people to 'take initiative, engage, and innovate,' describing the strategy as 'from them, for them, and by them.' The plan envisions Kuwaiti youth as prosperous, aware, skilled, healthy, and engaged in their communities, capable of innovation and ambition, and committed to building a sustainable future. — KUNA

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 13: Kuwait's Minister of Justice, Counselor Nasser Al-Sumait, confirmed the government's commitment to fully "Kuwaitize" the judiciary by 2030, replacing foreign judicial personnel with qualified Kuwaiti nationals. The ambitious plan is part of a broader initiative aimed at enhancing the role of local professionals within the country's judicial system.

Speaking to the media, he emphasized that the "Kuwaitization" process is already underway and that substantial progress is being made across all judicial departments. 'The matter has been decided, and we are committed to achieving 100% Kuwaitization by 2030,' Al-Sumait stated, addressing questions regarding the current status of the plan. The Minister further explained that the Ministry of Justice is actively working to replace foreign judicial staff with qualified Kuwaiti professionals, aiming to ensure that all positions within the judiciary are filled by local talent. He stressed that the process is being carried out steadily, in line with the ministry's ongoing efforts to enhance the judicial system's capabilities. In addition to the Kuwaitization initiative, Al-Sumait noted that the Judicial Independence Law is currently under legislative review. He assured that the government is focused on finalizing this important piece of legislation in a manner that would further strengthen judicial independence, while also improving the overall efficiency of the system. "We are keen to complete the law in a way that will not only enhance the independence of the judiciary but also ensure it keeps pace with modern legislative and administrative developments,' Al-Sumait added. The government's ongoing reforms are seen as an effort to solidify the judicial system's capacity to serve Kuwait's evolving legal and administrative needs while empowering national competencies within the sector.
