Kuwait ‘launches’ e-payment of fines

The Kuwait Ministry of Justice has launched an electronic payment system for misdemeanor fines related to violations of regulations specified by the Ministry of Social Affairs and State Ministry for Municipality Affairs. In a recent press statement Assistant Undersecretary Dr Mohammad Abdullah Al-Ansari disclosed the public can pay these fines by logging on to the ministry’s website www.moi.gov.kw. He said the service was launched on July 1 to ease procedures for citizens and expatriates, adding that the service is free. He advised the public to obtain a receipt to ensure completion of the payment process.

Al-Ansari attributed the successful implementation of the system to the concerted efforts of the technical and financial teams, which worked under the direct supervision of Financial Affairs Department head Khaled Al-Dakheel. He added the teams developed the system, in coordination with the Information Technology Department and K-Net Company.
