Mp Stressed The Need In Monitoring Markets Cooperative Societies And Shops During Ramadan
Several lawmakers have called on the concerned authorities to closely monitor markets, shops and cooperative societies in the holy month of Ramadan in order to prevent commercial fraud and price manipulation. MP Faisal Al-Kandari stressed the need to intensify efforts in monitoring markets, cooperative societies and shops during Ramadan; urging the concerned authorities to check consumer goods regularly. He asked the Consumer Protection Department in the Ministry of Commerce to form task forces for each governorate to prevent price manipulation. He said all those proven to have violated the law must be referred to the Public Prosecution and punished accordingly, such as closure of erring establishments.
He also urged the concerned authorities to refrain from compromising with those who violated the law as they should be held accountable, especially those who take advantage of occasions like the holy month of Ramadan to earn higher profits.
MP Riyadh Al-Adsani alleged that some companies and traders are taking advantage of occasions including Ramadan and Eid holidays, so the government must be responsible enough in controlling prices and checking the quality of products. He underscored the importance of coordination between inspectors in the ministries of Commerce, Social Affairs and Municipality Affairs to monitor markets and cooperative societies; adding that more than KD 500 million of purchasing power come from cooperative societies.
