(MENAFN- Arab Times) KUWAIT CITY March 1: The General Traffic Department will withdraw driving licenses which were issued to expatriates after the ministerial decision because they do not reportedly meet the conditions stipulated in the decision reports Al- Shahed daily quoting reliable ministry sources. According to the same sources a large number of expatriates were issued driving licences although they do not meet the required conditions and one of them is the profession.
The Assistant Undersecretary for Traffic Affairs Major-General Abdullah Al-Muhanna has asked for statistics of all licenses which were issued for professions other than those mentioned in the ministerial decision after it was discovered a large number of expatriates were given licences although they were not eligible.
The sources added a decision has been issued by Major-General Al- Muhanna to withdraw those licenses and to open an investigation to find out how these ''unqualified'' people got the licences. A technical committee has been formed to follow up this issue and the administrative irregularities that have been committed. In other news the Interior Ministry quickly and decisively responded to the abusive tweet posted by Hamid Bu-Yabes against the Crown Prince of Dubai Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum reports Annahar daily. A security source confirmed the ministry is working to preparing a warrant against Bu-Yabes to convict him of humiliating and abusing Sheikh Hamdan through a tweet he published on his account.
