Finance Ministry assists ‘Telecommunications’ in recovering its government dues

Kuwait’s Ministry of Finance has called on several government agencies to promptly settle their outstanding financial dues and debts owed to the Communications and Information Technology Commission.

This response from the Ministry of Finance came following a request from the Communications and Information Technology Commission to the Minister of Finance and Minister of State for Economic Affairs and Investment, Noura Al-Fassam, seeking support in collecting overdue payments from government agencies. The Commission urged the Ministry to assist in ensuring these agencies settle their outstanding financial obligations for the services provided to them.

Informed sources told Al-Rai that the authority had reached out to several government agencies requesting payment of outstanding financial dues. While some agencies responded and settled their payments, others remain in default despite repeated follow-ups.

However, the authority emphasized that, unlike its approach with companies, it does not resort to cutting off services for government agencies to avoid any potential harm to the public interest.
