The State Properties Encroachment Removal Committee has recorded 24 property misuse violations at Kuwait’s Ahmadi and Jahra equestrian clubs during its latest inspection operations, the committee said on June 24. The infractions included 13 cases at Ahmadi and 11 at Jahra, with the body affirming that further campaigns will continue to protect public property.
According to the committee, the violations stemmed from exploitation of the facilities for purposes other than those officially designated. The inspections at the two clubs formed part of routine field operations targeting state-owned sports infrastructure. The committee noted that its monitoring activities would proceed to ensure adherence to allocated land uses across similar sites.
The General Authority for Sports posted on Instagram in December 2025 that a joint inspection with the committee covering 100 plots in Ahmadi stables had uncovered 86 violations. Officials responded by cutting electrical supplies to the sites and forwarding detailed reports to a higher committee for review. The authority has cooperated with the encroachment panel on multiple similar campaigns at equestrian and stable facilities in recent years.
A separate operation in Jahra previously identified 128 violations during a single field sweep, according to a video published on the authority’s Facebook page. That earlier action led to legal procedures tailored to each case type. The current total of 24 violations fits within the pattern of repeated enforcement rounds at these locations.
On June 11 the committee decided to withdraw 41 barns and stables after warning periods expired, a local report citing the panel’s coordinator stated. The measure applied to non-compliant structures in the affected governorates. Enforcement followed established protocols for restoring the properties to their designated functions.
The General Authority for Sports oversees land allocations for equestrian clubs in Ahmadi and Jahra, coordinating with the encroachment committee on compliance checks. Such partnerships have enabled consistent oversight of state assets used for sporting activities. Additional operations remain scheduled as the committee maintains its inspection schedule.
