Kuwait Municipality has warned Kuwaiti and expatriate shop owners and hawkers who make brisk business by selling or advertising foam during the National Days festivities to abandon the idea.

According to Al-Rai dail, the Municipality will enforce the stiffests penalty against perpetrators of the act. Expatriates found culpable will be deported, noting files could be referred to the Public Authority for Manpower to close down concerned shops in case the expatriates aren’t deported.

The report said that the Municipality has categorized those who are involved in the sale of foam into three. The first category is a worker who sells the contraband at investment or commercial complexes. The seller in this case will be held responsible for the violation rather than owner of the property.

Hawkers fall into the second category, and if caught in the act, their sponsors will be invited to arrange for their deportation.

“The last entails children who are still regarded as minor; therefore, their sponsors will be invited for investigation”.
