Minister of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy and Minister of Social Affairs and Community Development, Dr. Mishaan Al-Otaibi, announced the launch of the ‘Consumer’ application, to protect consumers from manipulation of commodity prices in cooperative societies.
Al-Qabas quoting ministry sources said, “The application allows consumers to compare prices and report any unjustified rise, to help the ministry take the necessary action.”
The head of the Consumer Protection Department, Mishaal Al-Manea said the application gives a price comparison of commodities for sale in cooperative societies, whereby the consumer can know the difference in prices and file a complaint by photographing the product and sending the picture to the Consumer Protection Society in case of any discrepancy.
