KUWAIT: In another CSC-related concern, the government blocked all parliamentary attempts to make the last 10 days of the holy month of Ramadan an official annual holiday after both the CSC and the fatwa and legislation department rejected the proposals made by MPs Abdullah Fahhad, Majed Al-Mutairi and others.

Submitting fake receipts

MoE's Assistant Undersecretary for Financial Affairs Yousif Al-Najjar said the ministry has referred a number of school administrations to the legal affairs investigations for submitting fake receipts about how they spent school funds. Najjar added that a tripartite committee including elements from MoE, the finance ministry and CSC has been formed to follow up the use of fingerprint systems at various schools after a KD 1 million budget was allocated for the project. He added that monitoring bodies will be accordingly contacted this month to start offering the tender for public bidding.
