The Ministry of Interior has recently announced three contact numbers for the public to report individuals involved in begging, a criminal offense under Kuwaiti law. The ministry is urging both citizens and residents to actively participate in the effort to reduce this social issue. Begging is considered illegal and can result in serious legal consequences. As part of this initiative, the Ministry has called on everyone to collaborate in curbing the prevalence of begging in the country.

To ensure swift action against those violating the law, the Ministry of Interior has provided three dedicated contact numbers where reports can be made. The available numbers are:

  • 25582581
  • 97288200
  • 97288211

Additionally, individuals can also report such activities via the emergency hotline number: 112.

Why Reporting Begging Matters

The Ministry has emphasized the importance of community cooperation in addressing the issue of begging. By reporting such incidents, residents play a key role in maintaining public order and safety. The Ministry's efforts aim to provide swift responses to these illegal activities, ensuring a safer and cleaner environment for all.

If you observe individuals engaging in begging, it is important to report the incident immediately through the provided numbers. Begging may often appear in various forms, including people asking for money in public spaces, which could create disturbances and affect the quality of life for others. Prompt reporting can help authorities act efficiently and reduce the scope of this criminal activity.

Collaborating with Authorities

Citizens and residents are encouraged to work hand-in-hand with the Ministry of Interior to eliminate the issue of begging in Kuwait. This initiative not only aims to uphold the law but also to ensure that those found guilty face the necessary legal action. By reducing begging, the community fosters a better environment for everyone.

Remember, your cooperation with the Ministry can make a significant difference in keeping Kuwait safe and orderly.
