Kuwait’s Ministry Of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) affirmed that the monthly food rations is controlled by an accurate electronic system.
The Kuwaiti ration company distributes the ration commodities to cooperative societies which, in turn, delivers the commodities to beneficiaries in their respective branches, the ministry said in a press release late Sunday.
In case there is any shortage in the commodities, the officials of concerned cooperatives face legal action without adding any financial burdens to the state funds.
The Ministry’s inspectors verify the accuracy of cooperatives’ inventories regularly and referred 51 branches of these cooperatives to the public prosecution recently, the statement pointed out.
There are clear-cut ministerial decrees that ban the sale of subsidized ration commodities to any illegible persons or entities whether inside or outside the country, it reminded.
The ministry added that it works with the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor to Kuwaitize the administrative positions at all cooperative societies in keeping with the state policy.
