The Civil Service Commission prepares to launch efforts following the Eid Al-Fitr holiday to monitor the activity of government employees
in order to detect any delinquencies committed during working hours which include using social networking websites while at work.
People have noticed state employees ignoring their daily tasks while being busy with their cell phones which they use for chatting or accessing their Twitter and Facebook accounts, as well as use personal laptops to browse the Internet and browse through newspapers", said CSC undersecretary Mohammad Al-Roumi in a recent statement, adding that complaints have been made against staff members ignoring their tasks to tend to personal matters or to handle transactions for their friends in other departments.
Al-Roumi confirmed that the new regulations would obligate senior officials to keep an eye on the activity of their employees, and warn staff members caught wasting their time in the office. Meanwhile, Al-Rai reported MP Naji Al-Abdulhadi called the Minister of Communications Salem Al-Othaina to launch a probe over news which claim that the salary of an employee at the Kuwait Oil Tanker Company was suspended for statements he posted on his Twitter account. - Kuwait Times
