CALL FOR KD 1,000 PER MONTH AS THE MINIMUM PENSION FOR "RETIREES"

  • 07/11/2022

Kuwait City: The Public Institution for Social Security (PIFSS) Law number 61/1976 has been amended by a bill introduced by MPs Saleh Ashour and Khalil Al-Saleh that would raise the minimum monthly pension for retirees to KD 1,000. You may remember that the two lawmakers included this bill in their electoral platforms during the campaign. The creation of a leadership centre under the State Ministry for Cabinet Affairs has been proposed by MP Muhammad Al-Huwaila. The center's responsibilities will include defining the responsibilities of each category of senior officials, continuously evaluating senior officials' performance, and enhancing the skills of current officials. The centre will have administrative and financial independence. Its tasks will include creating plans and strategies for preparing young people for leadership roles, conducting research to determine the precise number of leaders that each public institution actually needs, and defining the responsibilities of each category of senior officials. 


Five extremely qualified individuals will make up the center's board of directors, and they will vote among themselves to choose the chairman. The board will establish committees to conduct studies and make recommendations, decide on the training programme each category needs, and lay out the executive, organising, financial, and administrative rules for the centre.
