Hamed Sunday, March 26, 2023 How can any country charge only one section of people? Where is the justice in this? Very disappointing.
Ex.Expat/Ex.NRI Wednesday, March 22, 2023 The electricity charged levied in Kuwait is cheapest in the world. Even just turn your face to UAE Saudi Bahrain Qatar….. you will realize the ground reality
syed Tuesday, March 21, 2023 Please increase salaries also only for expats.
Raj Monday, March 20, 2023 Still the prices are cheap for the quality compared to our home countries. Guys stop complaining
zulfiqar Monday, March 20, 2023 Already Ministry of Health imposed extra 2+5=7KD on expatriates to visit poly clinics, even though MOH is already charging health Insurance from all expatriates. 50% Price increase in Electricity and Water will result hike in flat rents and increase on all goods, which will be unbearable for majority expatriates. Price increase in every service should be gradual and minimal so that expatriates salaries can be adjusted with employers.
