Dr. Jenan Ramadhan, the Minister of State for Housing Affairs and Minister of State for Services, said on Wednesday that she had issued several decisions concerning damage inflicted on the roads due to heavy rains last November.
“The decisions were made according to the orders of His Highness Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah to hold whoever responsible accountable for their actions,” the Minister said in a statement for KUNA.
“The investigation resulted in referring several senior officials to retirement and suspension of 12 construction companies and two architectural offices,” she continued.
“The amount of damage onto the roads, in areas and infrastructure were very heavy and the ministry will start the repair process soon,” she added.
