Mandoobs Now Authorized to Handle Corporate Traffic Transactions. The General Traffic Department in Kuwait, led by Director General Brigadier Jamal Al-Foudari, has implemented significant administrative reforms aimed at streamlining traffic-related corporate processes.
A new administrative order now permits traffic transactions for companies or institutions to be completed either by the company owner or their legal representative (mandoob), provided a legally binding power of attorney designates the individual for this responsibility.
Key Changes in the Administrative Order
Simplified Authorization Process
The administrative order eliminates the requirement for transactions to be attested or approved by the Kuwait Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI). This change is expected to reduce procedural delays, enabling faster and more efficient handling of corporate traffic services.
Cancellation of Conflicting Circulars
Any previous circulars or directives that contradict this new administrative procedure have been annulled. This ensures uniformity in the implementation of the new process across all departments.
Enhanced Monitoring and Compliance
Deputies to the general directors and department heads are instructed to ensure the order is fully implemented and monitored from the effective date. Non-compliance with these directives could lead to legal accountability, emphasizing the seriousness of adherence to the new rules.
Benefits of the New Procedure
The decision underscores the General Traffic Department’s commitment to:
- Efficiency: Faster processing times for corporate traffic-related transactions.
- Organizational Improvements: Streamlining operations to reduce bureaucratic hurdles.
- Development: Enhancing service delivery through clear and accessible procedures.
Enforcement Campaign: A Focus on Road Safety
In addition to procedural reforms, the General Traffic Department continues to prioritize road safety. Last week, the department launched an extensive enforcement campaign, which yielded significant results:
Enforcement Action |
Statistics |
Traffic Citations Issued |
42,000 |
Vehicles Impounded |
88 |
Minors Referred to Prosecution |
31 (for driving without licenses) |
This robust campaign highlights the department’s unwavering commitment to ensuring safer roads for all. By addressing violations effectively, the department aims to foster greater responsibility among road users.
Legal Representatives: Role of Mandoobs
The inclusion of mandoobs in corporate traffic transactions marks a significant shift in administrative operations. Mandoobs, acting on behalf of companies, now play a crucial role in ensuring compliance with traffic regulations and facilitating the completion of essential procedures.
Requirements for Mandoobs:
- A valid power of attorney from the company owner.
- Full adherence to the rules and procedures set by the General Traffic Department.
Conclusion
The administrative order issued by Brigadier Jamal Al-Foudari represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of traffic operations in Kuwait.
By empowering mandoobs and simplifying procedures, the General Traffic Department is not only promoting operational efficiency but also contributing to the broader goal of Kuwait’s digital transformation.
Coupled with ongoing road safety campaigns, these initiatives reinforce the department’s dedication to innovation, safety, and service excellence.
For companies and institutions in Kuwait, this reform is a welcome development, ensuring smoother processes and an enhanced customer experience.
