Municipality’s new service to notify about violations

Kuwait Municipality recently announced the launch of a new communication service for the public to notify them electronically about a warning or violation through notifications that reach the concerned party via the Sahel app.

In a press statement, it explained that the launch of this service was based on direct directives from the Minister of Public Works and Minister of State for Municipal Affairs Dr. Noura Al-Mashaan to facilitate citizens and residents to be informed directly of the measures taken in the event of a warning being issued regarding municipal violations to avoid legal accountability, as well as the financial fines that result from failure to respond to the warning or violation. It also provides an opportunity to complete the reconciliation order process in order to avoid issuance of judicial rulings against the violator in the event that a violation report is issued by municipal inspectors.

This step is consistent with the government’s approach to developing services, and for benefiting from the Sahel app and the communication tools available within the government’s electronic services.
