Parliamentarian Adel Al-Damkhi, who heads the committee formed by parliament to assess the damages caused by floods last year, said the government is expected to start paying compensation for huge damages in the next few weeks. Damkhi said the government had already paid compensation for damages to vehicles worth less than KD3,000 and has almost completed compiling the larger damages caused to vehicles and houses.
He said the lists are almost ready and Minister of Public Works Jenan Bushehri has said payments will start in the coming few weeks. Floods resulting from torrential rains lashed several areas of Kuwait last November, causing heavy damage to properties. Damkhi also said that the committee called on the ministry of public works to penalize companies that were involved in faulty projects and roads.
