Teachers sacked months ago to get back their jobs
Withdrawal The CSC agreed on the withdrawal of the termination decision as per the request of the ministry, confirming it is possible to take such a step. It clarified that the teachers covered by the decision are not entitled to receive a salary for the period they were absent due to the decision. It added that a copy of decisions related to these teachers has been forwarded to the concerned entities for completion of reinstatement procedures. Article Four (bis), which the ministry used as the basis for approving the termination of these teachers due to its unwillingness to continue its contract with them, is part of the general policy of the State on the Kuwaitization of jobs in government agencies through the termination of expatriate staff. This is following Article Three of Civil Service Council Resolution No. 11/2017, which stipulates the rules and regulations for Kuwaitizing government jobs. It mandates the CSC to conduct an annual study to identify the job groups covered by Kuwaitization and the percentage of the Kuwaiti workforce.
Target The target number of Kuwaiti employees out of the total workforce is determined in each government entity separately, and then the number of non-Kuwaiti employees whose services must be terminated is determined to reach the specified percentage

Your Highness the Prime Minister ... Rain begins with a drop, then it pours
SOME time ago, I wrote an article titled, 'If there is a will, there is a way.' This proverb illustrates what must be done for institutions to succeed. In Management Science, there is a golden rule -- individual interests must be subordinated to public interests, not the other way around. However, for decades, Kuwait has been living in the opposite pattern -- one that brought backwardness and decline for the country. For example, for years, we have been talking about the need to reform the electricity infrastructure and escape the cycle of fear every summer -- fear of power outages during the peak summer heat; as well as the need to import electricity from neighboring countries. This entails an enormous cost for public finance. Unfortunately, this vital facility was subject to extortion by influential individuals who had their tools in the National Assembly, as it happened with every major project over the past 30 years. Instead of modernization, obstacles increased. As a result, everything in Kuwait was declining, up to the point where we felt as if we were living in a 19th-century country with a modern appearance. So, whenever the government announces a project that benefits Kuwait today, everyone welcomes it. In this regard, the mere signing of the contract for the second and third phases of the Zour power plant is already a confirmation that the country is on its way to achieving success -- free from parliamentary interference and influential figures who made everything subject to a price they received in advance. Otherwise, they obstructed the projects through their influence in the National Assembly, Tenders Committee, Audit Bureau or various ministries. If these projects were implemented long ago, Kuwait would have saved itself a great deal -- whether in terms of production disruption, time wasted due to power outages, or financially, as it has lost a lot, perhaps more than a billion Kuwaiti dinars in recent years. Nevertheless, as the saying goes, 'Better late than never.' Today, we are living in a completely new era, unlike what we have known over the past three decades. This era is characterized by a desire for reform and at the same time, a swift decision-making process. This is why Kuwait is experiencing a kind of developmental boom. While it is true that the construction of this new station -- which will greatly benefit Kuwait-- will begin operating three years from now, its speedy completion is required. Those who work are bound to make mistakes, and those who do not work will not make mistakes, but they will be dooming themselves to backwardness. Therefore, there are many projects that the country has needed for decades, and which have been delayed significantly. All of them are necessary and serve the national economy; starting with service infrastructure, through health and medical projects, which will make it a destination for medical tourism and ending with entertainment projects that encourage spending money domestically, rather than seasonal migration to neighboring countries during each vacation. These projects include the development of islands, acceleration of Mubarak Port completion and the new airport, among others. In other words -- in colloquial terms: 'Let people come to the country, not Kuwaitis migrating to other countries.'

He praised the noble and steadfast role of Kuwait in all forums and in supporting the Palestinian people in Gaza, emphasizing that these efforts embody the deep commitment of the country to justice, compassion, and alleviating human suffering; such that it earned the respect and appreciation of the Islamic world, including the Pakistani people.

The ceremony included the reading of official greetings from the President of the Republic of Pakistan, Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Foreign Affairs.

He cited the victories of the Pakistani Armed Forces in the battle of truth. He urged the Pakistani community to work hard and with dedication for the progress and prosperity of their country. He lauded their contributions to the development of Pakistan and Kuwait. The celebration included the participation of children and a number of Pakistani singers who performed famous patriotic songs and other musical segments, as well as the cake-cutting ceremony for the occasion.
