The head office of the Ministry of Interior's (MoI) Inspections Department has been moved from the Kuwait City police station to new offices in the new interior ministry headquarters in Block 2 of Sabhan.
In a statement announcing the move which was issued yesterday, department director Brigadier Shehab Hamad Al-Shemmari also revealed that the department had taken all the necessary steps to ensure full public security during the last 10 days of Ramadan and the celebration of the Eid Al-Fitr festival at its conclusion.
Brig. Al-Shemmari asserted that the inspections department is one of the most important in the MoI, adding that it reports directly to the interior minister. The inspection department is responsible for questioning police detainees and prisoners, and for monitoring their wellbeing in custody and ensuring that their human rights are observed, he explained.
As well as carrying out its own duties, he continued, the department also assists other ministry divisions whenever required and follows up allegations of officials abusing their positions for personal gain, taking legal action if these are found to be accurate.
The inspections department also receives Kuwaitis and expatriates who wish to file complaints against any MoI staff member and takes the necessary action over them, the official went on, adding that the department staff are dedicated professionals who work hard on cases from across the country, not just during special festivals, but every day. - Kuwait Times
