Kuwait Municipality Director General Ahmad Al-Manfouhi declared on Tuesday that KD 22 million (USD 72.5 million) have been earmarked to renovate infrastructure at the district of Jleeb Al-Shoyoukh.
Al-Manfouhi, in a statement he made after a team of the special commission tasked with examining the district conditions, said the group pin pointed defects in the region infrastructure. Conditions there "are unacceptable," he said.
He indicated that the area hosts unlicensed warehouses packed with food products, adding that they will be shut down and the products will be confiscated.
On the issue of the bachelors, he indicated that they cannot be moved out of the region unless the "bachelors towns" have been established -- alluding to the labor towns.
There have been grave offenses in this region such as stealing power cables, he added, affirming the high need for repairing the infrastructure in the district.
