Arab Times reported that inspectors from the Capital and Al Farwaniyah Governorates carried out the campaign in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh on behalf of the Commercial Control and Consumer Protection Department. The teams examined a range of commercial establishments during the tour to verify adherence to pricing, receipt and labeling requirements. Official violation reports were prepared for each detected breach and referred to the Commercial Prosecution for further action. The campaign is part of ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with commercial regulations and protect consumer rights.
The detected violations centered on three areas, according to the Arab Times account. Establishments failed to display prices, neglected to furnish consumers with receipts and omitted clear indications of each product’s country of origin. These infractions trigger formal documentation under the department’s enforcement mandate. The newspaper noted that the process ensures regulatory standards are applied uniformly across inspected sites.
The ministry received 17,135 complaints through its electronic portal and Sahel application during the second quarter of 2026, according to figures it supplied to Kuwait Times. Inspection teams issued 5,155 violation reports in the same period, the ministry data showed. An additional 648 complaints arrived through other channels and were also processed, the ministry told the newspaper.
A separate drive from February 28 to March 30, 2026, registered 511 violations across Kuwait’s six governorates, Times Kuwait reported. Failure to use the Arabic language accounted for 205 cases while not displaying prices produced 128 violations. The publication added that 77 cases involved the absence of visible Arabic notices explaining exchange and return policies, with the remaining breaches tied to fixed food pricing rules and misleading advertisements.
The Consumer Protection Department compiles violation records, maintains statistics and prepares reports as part of its monitoring role, the ministry’s website states. Consumers may submit complaints by dialing 135 or through the ministry’s digital platforms and mobile application. This structure enables rapid response to reported irregularities in commercial activity.
A joint inspection in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh in mid-July 2026 produced 152 violation reports and the closure of 10 establishments, Kuwait Times reported. A subsequent campaign days later recorded 227 violations in the same area. Such repeated actions in high-density commercial zones demonstrate the authorities’ sustained focus on regulatory enforcement across governorates.
