Expats living in Kuwait could be banned from leaving the country unless they can prove they have repaid their debts, according to media reports.
The move follows an Audit Bureau report accusing Kuwait’s Ministry of Communications of negligence over collecting debts.
The country’s Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Interior are reportedly working closely on the plan. The Ministry of Communications’ head of accounting and commercial services, Zakariya Mohammed Al Ansari, told a Kuwait newspaper the bans were being considered.
