MoSA clears debts for over 1,100 citizens; hundreds notified of debt settlement via Sahel App

Following the announcement by Dr. Khaled Al-Ajmi, Acting Undersecretary of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Chairman of the Debtors Committee, approval was granted to settle the first and second installments of debts for approximately 1,178 citizens whose debts range between 5,000 and 10,000 dinars.

Their names have been submitted to the General Department of Enforcement at the Ministry of Justice to proceed with settlement according to established procedures.

Al-Jarida learned that hundreds of debtors recently received notifications via the “Sahel” app confirming that their debts have been fully settled by the Enforcement Department.

Many praised the efforts of the Ministry of Social Affairs and the six Sharia committees responsible for reviewing and verifying eligibility for debt relief.

Ministry sources confirmed that the Supreme Committee, in coordination with relevant agencies, submitted the eligible names to the Implementation Department to complete repayment processes under approved legal and administrative frameworks. This marks a significant milestone in a humanitarian campaign aimed at easing financial burdens on vulnerable groups.

The Supreme Committee has also begun reviewing a third batch of debtors with debts up to 15,000 dinars, preparing to expand the program to cover more eligible cases within available resources.

Technical and legal committees, comprising representatives from the ministries of Interior, Justice (Civil Execution Department), Islamic Affairs, Social Affairs, the Zakat House, and the General Secretariat of Endowments, thoroughly examined the applicant files to ensure they met key criteria.

These include Kuwaiti nationality, no prior benefit from the 2023 and 2024 campaigns, enforceable debts, and existing enforcement files with the Ministry of Justice.

Dr. Al-Ajmi is closely overseeing the committees’ work to expedite their tasks and determine the exact number of eligible applicants out of the 9,112 applications currently under review. The committees maintain transparency and strict controls to ensure funds reach rightful beneficiaries with accuracy and fairness.

Members adhere to a strict code of ethics, signing legal pledges to avoid conflicts of interest, protect confidential information, and report any violations. The charter enforces disciplinary measures against breaches to uphold integrity, ensure equitable fund distribution, and prevent misuse or duplication, safeguarding the campaign’s core humanitarian mission.
