Hairdressing changes welcomed by customers, raising hairs with some in industry.

Photo: RNZ / Marika Khabazi Regulations for hairdressers are being trimmed , with announced changes welcomed by customers, but raising hairs with industry. A review by the Ministries for Regulation and Health examined the rules governing the industry and whether any of them are unnecessary or creating problems for businesses. They included rules prohibiting dogs from barber shops - other than guide-dogs - and a ban on refreshments for people getting their hair done. Regulations Minister David Seymour said he was making cuts to "pointless bureaucracy". "We are taking a serious trim to the amount of pointless bureaucracy, really shaving it back to the scalp where it's no longer needed because it's critical that people up and down this country who run small businesses can spend more time doing what they want to do and spend less time complying with pointless rules and regulations," he said Cabinet has agreed to all of the review's recommendations, with changes coming to affect from July, though modifications to the sale and supply of alcohol would need to go through legislation. Seymour hoped to convince his coalition partners to progress the changes before the end of the year. "Just as you can give someone a sample at a wine cellar door without having to go through the rigmarole of licensing, I think you should be able to do that for a long suffering customer at a barber or hairdresser," he said. "And, you know what, if you don't want to do it you don't have to, that's how a free society works." The regulations would be replaced by guidelines for those wanting to follow best practise, and an evaluation would take place in two years time to see if the changes are working. It was expected to save about a million dollars a year. Getting a hair wash at the same time, Seymour said there was still legislation in place to uphold health and safety standards. "You've still got an obligation to adhere to that, and that's why we're issuing guidance so that people have an idea of how to discharge their health and safety at work obligations." Emma Francis Salon owner Emma Axford-Hawkins said she would make changes if it benefited her business. "If somebody wants to bring in their dog, and it's not going to cause chaos through the salon and interrupt anybody else having a nice, relaxing experience, then it's fine," she said. "If I can set up a bar in the salon and it will make my business more money, then I'm up for it." Axford-Hawkins said she was capable of upholding standards herself, without government oversight. "I feel like we go above and beyond in the salon anyway, cause I want to keep running as a business," she said. "If I'm not clean, and tidy, and keep things to a certain standard anyway I think my business would suffer immensely." And locals around Newmarket were also keen to have a drink, or a dog, in the salon. "I feel like it would make a better connection with the barber, and would lead to less bad haircuts," said one person. "I'm all for it man, I think we're all adults at this point in life and we deserve to relax and enjoy our things ... if you want to have a beer you should be able to have a beer," said another. "Not that keen on the dogs, but on the other hand I can put up with them if somebody's got them well controlled," one woman said. But Hair and Barber NZ's Jess Corbett said their members had mixed feelings about the changes. "We welcome the fact that they are removing barriers to setting up a salon and being a salon operator, they're removing costs, they're removing unnecessary hoops that we had to jump through that were antiquated and irrelevant," she said. However, the group was still advocating for regulation for unqualified hairdressers, said Corbett. "You can be an unqualified hairdresser in New Zealand with no problem. "That was the area that we were most concerned about, and as an association were really pushing for change, and that obviously hasn't been addressed." Corbett encouraged customers to use Hair and Barber member salons. "You know their qualified, you know they know the rules, and they're passionate about keeping industry standard high, so if you're worried about the changes seek out one of those salons and then you can be assured of being safe."

Inter-ministerial coordination drives development and service integration
Govt steps up efforts to fast-track execution of infrastructure projects KUWAIT: Inter-ministerial coordination in Kuwait has witnessed a marked rise, reflecting strategic reforms in the administration of public services and state institutions. This growing synergy among ministries and government entities has resulted in significant achievements across various vital sectors, laying the groundwork for new developmental and service-oriented horizons. Institutional integration has played a key role in propelling major national projects forward, supporting unified efforts in areas such as electricity conservation, combating illegal cryptocurrency mining, accelerating digital transformation and boosting infrastructure maintenance across the country. A prime example of high-level coordination is the activation of memoranda of understanding (MoUs) between Kuwait and China, particularly in strategic ventures such as Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port. These agreements highlight joint efforts between relevant state bodies to push forward key development initiatives. In line with Kuwait Vision 2035, the government has stepped up cooperation between the Ministries of Finance, Foreign Affairs, Public Works, and others to strengthen bilateral relations with China and fast-track the execution of major infrastructure projects. The housing sector has also received considerable attention. In March, a Coordinating Committee was formed to oversee the provision of services for housing projects. The committee, which includes representatives from eight government bodies, is tasked with ensuring the completion of housing initiatives and aligning inter-agency efforts in the operation and maintenance of current and future residential areas. It also defines the entities responsible for receiving completed buildings in accordance with set timelines. The committee includes members from the Ministries of Finance, Public Works, Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy, and Communications, along with Kuwait Municipality, the Public Authority for Roads and Transportation (PART), the Public Authority for Agricultural Affairs and Fish Resources, and Kuwait Credit Bank. This reflects the government's commitment to consolidating efforts in this critical sector. Government efforts to promote electricity conservation have been reinforced by the formation of a dedicated committee comprising various ministries and agencies. This committee is developing a comprehensive awareness program to highlight the importance of conservation, both economically and environmentally. Government bodies have issued guidelines to reduce energy consumption, initiated national campaigns, partnered with the Ministry of Electricity, and deployed inspection teams to ensure compliance across facilities. Earlier this month, the Higher Committee for Energy began reviewing the National Energy Transformation Document 2024, prepared by the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS). The document, a key reference for national energy development, is under review by representatives from Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR), the Public Authority for Housing Welfare, the Ministry of Finance, the Kuwait Authority for Partnership Projects (KAPP), the Public Authority for Industry, the Environment Public Authority and Kuwait Municipality. In a parallel move, joint coordination among state entities resulted in a successful nationwide campaign targeting illegal cryptocurrency mining. The Ministry of Interior, in collaboration with the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy, and the Public Authority for Industry, carried out the campaign in April, uncovering multiple non-compliant residences, seizing mining equipment, and initiating legal action against violators. The Public Prosecution has since launched investigations into 31 reports of illegal electricity usage tied to cryptocurrency mining in 59 homes, questioning 116 individuals involved. As part of Kuwait's digital transformation agenda, a large-scale coordination workshop was held in April, gathering representatives from 38 government bodies involved in the Sahel app. The workshop reviewed key performance indicators, noting that over 91 million services have been delivered via Sahel since its launch in September 2021, with the user base reaching 2.7 million. Government agencies continue to reengineer their services in line with digital journey standards, aiming to improve efficiency, streamline procedures, and enhance user experience through data-driven development. Meanwhile, coordination between governors and various state authorities has been strengthened through regular meetings and field visits. These efforts aim to unify work mechanisms and enhance service delivery across governorates. Since the nationwide road maintenance initiative launched in December, the Ministry of Public Works, the Ministry of Interior, and PART have maintained close collaboration to implement the plan according to schedule. Ongoing inspections are being carried out to ensure quality and efficiency, supporting a broader strategy to improve road networks, enhance safety, and accommodate urban expansion and rising transportation needs. In efforts to boost government sector performance, the Civil Service Commission, in coordination with 13 government entities, introduced evening working hours in January. Following a series of meetings, the participating bodies established a framework to deliver services during both morning and evening shifts. The initiative aims to improve work environments, enhance productivity, and elevate the quality and speed of service delivery to citizens and residents. — KUNA

Crypto crackdown in Kuwait intensifies through inter-agency action
KUWAIT CITY, May 20: The path of joint coordination between ministries and government entities in Kuwait has witnessed a notable increase within the framework of strategic transformations in managing the governmental system and services offered to the public. This coordination has led to tangible successes across several vital areas, enhancing the country's ability to open new development and service horizons. The outcomes of institutional integration among state entities contributed to advancing major projects, unifying efforts to rationalize electricity consumption, combating illegal cryptocurrency mining activities, accelerating the pace of digital transformation, and giving strong momentum to infrastructure maintenance nationwide. An example of high-level coordination is the activation of memoranda of understanding (MoU) between Kuwait and China, particularly regarding strategic projects such as the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port, as it displays coordinated efforts between relevant government bodies. Kuwait has intensified efforts through cooperation between the Ministries of Finance, Foreign Affairs and Public Works, amongst others, to push bilateral cooperation with China toward more advanced phases, aiming to expedite the implementation of mega projects that align with Kuwait Vision 2035. The housing sector has also received special attention, via the launch of the Coordinating Committee in March to follow up on the provision of services related to housing projects. The committee consists of eight government bodies. The committee is responsible for taking all necessary measures to complete housing-related projects, coordinating efforts among participating bodies to develop joint plans and mechanisms for the provision, operation and maintenance of services in existing and future cities and residential areas. It also identifies the entities responsible for receiving buildings in line with project timelines. Members of the committee include representatives from the Ministries of Finance, Public Works, Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy, Communications, as well as Kuwait Municipality, the Public Authority for Roads and Transportation (PART), the Public Authority of Agriculture Affairs and Fish Resources and the Kuwait Credit Bank, reflecting the government's keenness to unify efforts in developing this vital sector. Government integration aimed at electricity conservation has been bolstered through various measures, including the formation of a committee consisting of representatives from several ministries and agencies. This committee is tasked with preparing an integrated system of awareness programs to highlight the importance of conservation and its direct impact on public funds and the environment. Actions taken by state ministries include issuing detailed measures on conservation procedures, outlining practical steps to reduce loads across various sectors and facilities, launching national campaigns for optimal energy use, activating cooperation protocols with the Ministry of Electricity, and forming teams to inspect buildings and facilities. In early May, the Higher Committee for Energy began reviewing the National Energy Transformation Document of 2024, prepared by the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS), which serves as a key reference for developing the country's energy sector. This committee includes representatives from relevant government bodies and institutions such as Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR), the Public Authority for Housing Welfare, the Ministry of Finance, the Kuwait Authority for Partnership Projects (KAPP), the Public Authority for Industry, the Environment Public Authority and Kuwait Municipality. In a related context, joint coordination among government ministries led to a successful security campaign to combat illegal cryptocurrency mining activities. This was part of the state's efforts to counter unlawful use of electricity and practices that negatively impact power networks. The campaign, conducted last April by the Ministry of Interior in cooperation with the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy, and the Public Authority for Industry, resulted in the discovery of several non-compliant residences, the seizure of mining equipment, and the initiation of legal procedures against violators. Meanwhile, the Public Prosecution began investigating 31 reports concerning the illegal use of electricity for cryptocurrency mining in 59 houses, questioning 116 individuals involved. In efforts to accelerate digital service integration and simplify procedures for citizens and residents, a wide-scale coordination workshop was held last April. It brought together representatives from 38 government bodies that offer services through the unified government smartphone services app (Sahel). A workshop reviewed key performance indicators and achievements, with more than 91 million services delivered since Sahel's launch in September 2021. The number of users has also risen to 2.7 million. Government bodies are now working in harmony to reengineer their services in accordance with digital journey standards to improve efficiency, reduce red-tape, and enhance user experience based on data and indicators provided by Sahel. Regarding the role of governorates in development and service improvement, coordination between governors and various government authorities has accelerated through joint meetings and field visits to unify teamwork.(KUNA)
