Corruption Charges In Hiring Indian Nurses Sent For Legal Investigations
Health Minister Sheikh Dr Basel Al-Sabah has referred alleged violations and corruption in the appointment of Indian nurses in the ministry of Health to the public prosecution for legal investigations.
Parliamentarian MP Rakan Al-Nasef, on his Twitter, posted that he had sent a question to the health minister about the suspected violations involving the appointment and the minister told him that the case has been referred to the public prosecution.
The lawmaker claimed, during the grilling of a former health minister, that hundreds of nurses were appointed in the ministry after paying large amounts of bribes to senior ministry officials and middlemen.Â
Earlier it was reported that around 80 nurses recruited from India have been stuck here for more than two years due to paperwork and red tape. Recently these nurses met External Affairs Minister Smt Sushma Swaraj during her recent visit to Kuwait and minister had taken up the issue with Kuwaiti authorities.
The group of nurses from India are living in government housing, but are unable to work because their certifications and licensing have been held up. They alleged the corruption involved in the recruitment process for this state of affairs.
In April 2015, the Indian government banned the recruitment of nurses through private agencies in a bid to stop massive corruption. Working with the Kuwait government, it established six approved agencies that could recruit nurses for Kuwait.
