Interior Ministry’s Assistant Undersecretary for Traffic Affairs Major General Abdallah AlMuhanna refutes the allegations that the traffic department is targeting expatriates Kuwait Times daily reported citing Al Rai Arabic newspaper. “They are part of the country’s renaissance and we do not deny their role. If there is a criticism for some, then that is because they do not respect the state’s laws, which is something we do not tolerate from anyone. When we see an expat driving a car without a license, or driving rundown vehicles, then we will not take it easy on them.” Major General Muhanna said.
More than 300 expats were deported during the past six months for driving without licenses.
He said the expat who received his driver’s license before the decision that linked it with his visa can complete the period of 10 years since the decision does not include him. He added that the license of an expat who changes his job for which he obtained it will be revoked.
