Determined to beautify the Capital City and get rid of all violations and encroachments on government land, the Kuwait Municipality’s Cleanliness Department closed a public square in the suburb of Shuwaikh in the presence and under the supervision of the Capital Governor Sheikh Talal Al-Khaled, municipality officials and the Ministry of Interior.
On the sidelines of the closure of the square Al-Jarida quoted Al-Khaled as saying, “We appreciate the efforts made by some government institutions and their cooperation with the governorate to achieve public interests and said the governorate doubles the efforts in partnership with some parties such as the Kuwait Municipality and the General Traffic Department of the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Public Works to achieve our aspirations in bringing about an aesthetic shift and development of various parts of the capital.”
He added the closure is a temporary measure until work is done to beautify the landscape or create multi-story car parks, since these places have become a haven for ‘abandoned cars’ or for random and private use by owners of garages, factories, and other nearby shops.
He added the encroachments and abuses on state property must stop, as public property is a red line, and its exploitation must be in accordance with the laws, reiterating that “our campaigns against infringements on capital property in all regions of the capital are our goal, and we will not stop until and end is put to all the abuses because they constitute a major obstacle in the face of the expected reform and beautification.”
Al-Khaled reiterated all heavy equipment and trucks must be parked outside residential areas, and the responsible authorities must find solutions to this dilemma, especially since the allocation of a location for these trucks and their services outside residential areas was decided upon years ago.”
