MPs raise concern over hiking service fee for expats

Several MPs have expressed concern over the government’s plan to increase fees for services offered to expatriates because it could eventually affect citizens, Arab Times daily reported. Recently, the government announced its plan to increase fees for services provided to expatriates including visas, residency permits and driving license.

Arab Times daily, quoting MP Khalil Al-Saleh, reported that he was surprised when he heard about the unstudied plan to increase fees for services offered to expatriates. He warned this will have serious impact on inflation. He explained any increase in the fees for services offered to expatriates will negatively affect the services because these fees will be taken from the pockets of citizens in the long run; hence, it will have an effect on inflation.

MP Abdul-Rahman Al-Jeeran said the decision to increase fees should be taken by HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah since it is related to national security. He stressed the need to specify fees for services offered to expatriates based on their salaries, indicating a construction worker cannot afford fees that a judge can easily pay.
