Counterfeiting hampers legitimacy
The Kuwaiti government has announced strict measures regarding nationality forgery. The Supreme Committee for Citizenship said it will activate Articles 13 and 14 of the Citizenship Law to revoke the citizenship of any Kuwaiti or person under its jurisdiction who is found to have added an individual who is not genuinely their descendant to their citizenship record, whether at the founding or naturalization stage. The committee is currently employing advanced techniques, including investigations, database linkages, and genetic testing, to uncover cases of forgery that may have persisted for decades. There is also active Gulf cooperation in sharing information and uncovering true identities. As a result, the citizenship of 360 individuals has been revoked in cases related to forgery and dual nationality. These measures aim to eradicate forgery networks and restore the legitimacy of Kuwaiti citizenship with greater accuracy and credibility.
