KUWAIT: The parliamentary public facilities committee is set to discuss a number of issues at its forthcoming meeting tomorrow
, including the establishment of a proposed food safety monitoring system. Among the other issues under discussion will be a proposal to create a third airport for Kuwait, the current bill to create a public authority for communication and two further proposals, one concerning the erection of tents and marquees for public and private events and the other related to the regulations governing diwaniyas in private homes.
Speaking to the press on Monday, committee member MP Faisal Al-Duwaisan voiced hope that there would be sufficient time during the meeting to confer on all the issues scheduled for discussion, adding that the proposed establishment of a new communications authority would be given the highest priority. Al-Duwaisan explained that the proposal for a new food safety monitoring system had been put forward by fellow parliamentarian Naji Al-Abdulhadi with the objective of protecting consumers and ensuring that foodstuffs are stringently assessed for safety.
He said that the proposal on the erection of tents and marquees had been submitted by MP Ali Al-Deqbasi, explaining that it calls for a ban on erecting tents outside homes unless a license to do so has been obtained previously from the Kuwait Municipality. Al-Duwaisan also revealed that the bill on regulating the laws governing diwaniyas, originally put forward by MP Shuwaib Al-Muwaizri, was also to be prioritized after being approved by members of the parliamentary legislative and legal committee, while a
similar bill has already been proposed to the Municipal Council. - Kuwait Times
