Is Kuwait planning to confiscate driving licences from expats with less salary?

Kuwait: A Kuwaiti committee will be confiscating driving licences from around 300,000 expats who are currently earning less than KWD600, according to a report by the Arabic daily Al-Jarida.

The Arabic daily said that Kuwait's Ministry of Interior has reportedly formed a new committee that will withdraw driving licences from expats who hold a salary of less than KWD600 and those who do not have a university degree.

The ministry will also reportedly implement its decision to “deal with traffic jams,” the report said, adding that the committee was formed by First Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Interior and Acting Minister of Defence, Sheikh Talal Al-Khalid.
