It's about to go POMPEI up in here! Maury say:
Arab Times
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 21: The Ministry of Interior expects
thousands of Kuwaitis not to come forward for the DNA test because they fear
losing their nationality, reports Al- Shahed daily. (DG comment: Emmmmm.... I don't think that's why, but ok...)
The daily put this number at approximately 200,000 saying
these people got their nationality through fraudulent means.
However, sources close to the issue said the ministry is
prepared to take legal action against those who reject the DNA test to the
extent of withdrawing their citizenship. Official sources at the Interior
Ministry said failure to undergo DNA test to obtain the e-passport will not be
tolerated by the government which is determined to set a time limit to undergo
these tests and failure will mean cancellation of passports and issuing a
travel ban against them even to the GCC states.
The sources added the Ministry of Interior represented by
the General Department for Citizenship Affairs shall remain in touch with other
government institutions and terminate the services of those who refuse to
undergo the DNA tests and also suspend free medical treatment in government
hospitals.
The sources also said the government will impose a ban on
their transactions of all kinds and their siblings will not be accepted in
government schools.
The sources pointed out these measures will not be arbitrary
or chaotic, but in accordance with legal norms, and shall be as stated in the
provisions of the Kuwaiti nationality law which is in force with regard to
withdrawing nationality of those who have acquired it through fraudulent means.

Ok, so how are they going to count all those kids that don't belong to they Kuwaiti daddies? Did they obtain their nationality fraudulently? One has to wonder what will happen. I believe that there may indeed be a wee bit of chaos on all levels of society following these tests. Should be fascinating.
Yippee, fun times ahead!

ReplyDeleteWe sort of have this label for some people -sons of Bangladeshi drivers- could be daughters too I guess. When my son was in 3 grade and up there was a boy in his class, exact clone of the driver that would pick him up. I'm not too sure how this Dna is suppose to be used exactly. My parents in law are dead so how do my husband his brothers and sister prove who they are or is it for younger generations. They have been talking about this for many years but didn't do it because of the can of beans it would open... We shall see
