New offices to remain open from 4-8 pm
KUWAIT CITY: Assistant Undersecretary for Consumers Affairs at Ministry of Electricity and Water Jassem Allengawi has warned legal action will be taken against 4,300 consumers for delaying the payment of accumulated bills, reports Al-Qabas daily.
Allengawi said the department has opened offices in various areas where consumers can pay their bills between 4-8 pm, adding that this step was taken to simplify the procedure of paying the bills and if the consumer still fails to pay the bills, the ministry will enforce power disconnection.
He further added that the ministry will not hesitate to sue any consumer that refuses to pay the bills, saying he regards water and electricity bills as payment for services that are offered beforehand. He pointed out that the consumers do not hesitate to enjoy these services but hesitate when it comes to payments for those services.
