Move to privatize north Shuaiba power plant
Tuesday, August 23, 2016
The Supreme Council of Privatization is currently studying the feasibility of privatizing the north Shuaiba power plant. The initial studying process is to be carried out with the Ministry of Electricity and Water and Ministry of Finance, local daily Kuwait Times reported citing Al Anbaa Arabic news paper.
Regarding possible measures to be taken to ‘protect’ Kuwaiti manpower’s rights once privatization takes place, the sources commented by saying that coordination was made with the Kuwait Trade Union Federation regarding amendments to the privatization law. Those amendments were sent to the Fatwa and Legislation Department, and reportedly ‘guarantee’ national manpower’s rights.
