Excellent performance
Published Date: May 27, 2007
KUWAIT: A bolt of lightning struck a Kuwaiti man after he discovered recently that the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor had promoted him due to his excellent performances in executing his duties, reported Al-Qabas. He wondered how he had been promoted when he had already resigned from the ministry three years ago and now worked for a private company. He is now in doubt that his monthly salary might be paid to or collected by somebody else.

Audit Bureau accuses Labor
KUWAIT: The Audit Bureau accused the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor of squandering public funds by paying bonuses to staff for performing additional tasks in duties as well as paying allowances for attending certain sessions or meetings that take place after official duty hours, reported Al-Qabas. They also accused the ministry of permitting employees to work for other authorities and granting them leaves for various reasons such as sick leaves and paying bonuses to employees who didn't deserve them at all.

Nothing new then. And the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour want to now manage the payment of all private sector salaries in Kuwait through the CSC? Yeah, right.
