MP Abdullah Al- Turaiji has forwarded queries to Minister of Finance and Minister of State for Economic and Investment Affairs Khalifa Hamada on the major losses incurred by Touristic Enterprises Company. The lawmaker asked who are responsible for the following losses: KD 350 million due to the renewal of contracts with investors at a lower value and KD 137 million due to the delayed collection of fees from those renting the properties of the company.

He also inquired if TEC signed a contract with an engineering consultancy firm valued at KD 1.7 million and another contract worth KD 3 million; and with an advertisements and promotion company at a cost of KD 14,000.

MP Abdullah Al-Mudaf asked Minister of Oil and Higher Education Dr Muhammad Al-Fares about the strategy of Kuwait National Petroleum Corporation (KNPC) in recruiting Kuwaiti workers through the contractors. He demanded for a copy of the executive decree on the decision of KNPC’s Board of Directors in this regard.

MP Abdulaziz Al- Saqaabi asked the minister of oil and higher education to submit a report on the average daily oil production over the last 10 fiscal years — from 2011/2012 to 2021/2022. He wants to know the role of Kuwait in making sure that the members of the Organization of Oil Exporting Countries (OPEC) are committed decisions on the reduction of oil production, in addition to the strategy of the Environment Public Authority (EPA) in dealing with the used tyres issue and if it latter intends to recycle these tyres. He asked the finance minister why the Supreme Council for Planning and Development delayed the presentation of the third development plan, and if it is true that the council sought the help of individuals and companies in preparing a report on the human resources of the country.
If yes, he requested for copies of the contracts with these companies and individuals; including the value of each contract. He wants to know if the council signed agreements with the World Bank in the last five years. If yes, he demanded for copies of these agreements.
