The administrative court recently issued a verdict by powers of which the Cabinet is to issue a decision banning the usage of water guns in National and Liberation Days’ celebrations, local daily Kuwait Times reported.

According to report, the verdict was made in response to a case filed by lawyer Mona Al-Arbash demanding the ban for public interest, on grounds that thousands of water gallons are wasted every year during national celebrations, costing the country - which is already poor on natural water resources - a lot of money.

Use of water guns and water cannons during national celebrations have become very popular in recent years after the government banned the use of spray foam for environmental reasons.
