Kuwait: traffic fines payable at airport

The traffic general directorate opened an office at Kuwait International Airport to collect traffic fines from travellers who used to be sent to various traffic departments to do so, which usually delayed their departure. The idea had been subject to discussion for a while in a bid to facilitate the departure of passengers. Finally, a meeting including the traffic directorate’s assistant manager, Brigadier Ihsan Al-Owayyesh, fines investigation department manager, Colonel Mohsen Al-Mekhyal, and his assistant, Colonel Hussein Ghaleb, decided to open the office a few days ago. The office working hours are 8:00-14:00 and 16:00-21:00, in addition to a night shift that will start operating from today. From/kuwaittimes
