The Interior Ministry is working on a new draft bill amending DNA Law 78/2015, responding to directives by His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.

Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sheikh Mohammad Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah made the statement as he briefed a cabinet meeting on Tuesday on the ministry's efforts for implementing His Highness the Amir's directives.

The meeting was held at the Kuwait International Airport, and chaired by His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah.

The law has not yet been put into effect, Sheikh Mohammad Al-Khaled stressed, pointing out that the Amiri directives have always embodied the civilized and humanitarian considerations His Highness the Amir advocates and is keen on commitment to them.

The ministry has already began providing the human and technical requirements for the law, a matter that will last for two years, Sheikh Mohammad Al-Khaled said.

He emphasized keenness on preserving people's freedoms and privacy, in line with the Constitution, law and the genuine principles and values of the Kuwaiti society.
