Good News in Kuwait
BIG WOOOOOO HOOOOOO Kuwait!
This is from yesterday’s Kuwait Times, and I don’ t know why I didn’t blog it except maybe I ran out of time:
Crooked Cops Beware
KUWAIT: After publishing several violations committed by police officers, the ministry of Interior has started a campaign to catch corrupt police officers and clean up the name of Kuwaiti law enforcement. The ministry pointed out that it plans to form inspection teams which will supervise patrols and police officers daily.
The police officers on the inspection teams will be undercover, wearing civilian clothes, and will also comprise of male and female members.
The Interior Ministry will also be adopting stricter penalties against police officers who violate the laws. The ministry further noted that complaint reports filed by citizens against policemen and high ranking officials will all be looked into immediately. It also plans to develop the military colleges and police academy’s teaching curriculum and will also give more women an opportunity to be a part of the police force.
In every country in the world, the police force and military forces often attract people who want power, but some few don’t handle it responsibly. It takes a very courageous and determined Ministry of Interior to start a clean-up campaign. I am so impressed. BIG wooo hoooo to the Ministry of Kuwait, and I propose dancing in the streets of Kuwait.
Oh! Wait! Women can dance on the Corniche, and men in front of the Liberation tower. No mixed dancing in Kuwait in public, please. π

outfit. i’ll have a sidekick. GOD that would be amazing.
thats a great news!!! I just hope this law is enforced welll!!
Oh Nanoor, I hadn’t even thought of that. What fun – I think there should be a contest, don’t you, to design the women’s uniforms? And yes, it could be totally amazing, and very, very cool.
Amu, you think there is doubt? I think Kuwait is getting serious about rule of law.
Good to know π
Long overdue, but better late than never… We will see how it goes, because this is Kuwait after all, so forgive me for sounding a little nervous or jaded ;p
But its a good start π
a start! i hope it develops even further…kuwait needs to be run like communist russia
I like the new Minister of Interior. I hope he doesn’t let anyone or anything get in his way of reforms
Good news… I hope it will be taken into action π
3baid – I see a sincere effort to take rule of law very seriously. I like it!
Ms. Baker – It is a good start. That’s good enough for me. I think they will follow through – insh’allah.
Mrm – I think it’s on the right track, but communist Russia???
Jewaira – Good! I’m glad there is some hope.
Good news, indeed, Ansam! I hope so, too!
Good stuff! π I’m very pleased. One thing at a time, enshalla it’ll all work out in the end. Now, if only there is a policy for transparency.. we also need a channel like CSPAN and a station like NPR.. what can I say, I’m a huge supporter of public open media, “mass media for the masses”!
Great news but we need strong police officers.. I feel if I just push one with my finger, he will fall down loool! donno too thin!
N. – This really is good news!
ShoSho – You are right, and the MOI has plans for military colleges and better teaching at the police academies. Add achieving women to the mix and you have a great chance for a better, stronger police force. Did you see Nanoor’s comment above about getting to design the female uniforms? π
