Cairo: According to the local media reports, the Kuwait parliamentary committee has approved a proposal for equipping police’s uniforms with cameras in order to expose “transgressions” from them or members of the public.

Further reports indicate that proposal needs to require police personnel in order to keep the device on while on duty.

According to MP Hesham Al Saleh, the police are well alert in safeguarding, preserving people’s security and tracking down violators; MP Hesham is the author of the draft.

Sometimes it is very casual to have misunderstood and develop into transgression either on the part of the policeman or the other side, he added.

Furthermore, the lawmaker added that his proposal would protect both sides’ rights and preserve the “transparency and credibility” of the police’s job.

Congress’s Domestic and Defence Affairs approved the motion. Still, there is no date which is set yet in order to have a debate by a parliament.

Nowadays, Kuwait has witnessed several attacks, especially on police personnel.

Last year, in December, a Kuwait man was arrested after he had stabbed two policemen with a knife as they tried their best to control him from attacking his parents in the town of Jaber Al Ahmad, west of Kuwait city.

In June, a young Syrian man ran after killing his mother, but luckily he was stabbed by a traffic policeman in the area of Al Mahboula in Kuwait’s governorate of Al Ahmadi.

Dubbed in the local media the Mahboula crime, the murder shook Kuwait and triggered calls for stricter enforcement of law and more protection for police.
