KUWAIT: Secretary
General of the Supreme Council for Planning and Development (SCPD) Dr Khalid
Mahdi denied claims by some people that the secretariat general assigned a
company with the duty of preparing the development plan. Mahdi said SCPD was
aware of the role of the company in question, as the specialized committee held
several meetings with the planning secretariat general and the company to
discuss its roles and duties.

He said the Tri International Consulting Group (TICG) was contracted this year
with the aim of formulating the methodology of the national development plan
with the secretariat general of the SCPD, designing the strategic planning
process to prepare the 2020-2025 national development plan and preparing the
necessary documents to manage the project of supporting the preparation of the
national plan to implement it through the office of the project management
using the principles of project management according to a program.
