Kuwait opens a massive can of worms - Blogs - ArabianBusiness.com:
"Kuwait celebrated its golden jubilee in 2012 with a massive fireworks display which was only recently overtaken by Dubai’s New Year’s Eve record-breaking extravaganza.
While the Gulf state has avoided the sort of Arab Spring violence which has beset Bahrain, Egypt and parts of Oman, it has struggled to gain real long-term political stability. The government and parliament have fallen in and out of power and political scandals have been rife.
However, the Kuwait has now been beset with a scandal that could be its biggest challenge since the Gulf War in the 1990s.
More than 40,000 foreign workers in Kuwait have been stripped of their visas after authorities claimed they were issued by illegal visa traders. Investigations found about 1000 companies illegally operating as visa distributors. It is estimated there are about 100,000 workers illegally resident in the country."
