KUWAIT: The Amiri Diwan denied "false social media reports" of the purchase of fruit and vegetables worth KD 750,000 for a three-month period, underlining that the allocated budget is only an estimate. Actual spending is carried out on an as-needed basis in honor of visiting dignitaries, and is not intended for staff or employees, read a statement quoting an Amiri Diwan source. The limits of this spending do not exceed the budget, which is approved temporarily pending authorization by regulatory authorities, added the statement. - KUNA
