PAI official laments neglectsuffered by industrial sector
MoH prohibits staff taking turns to work, rest during working hours
KUWAIT CITY, July 17: The industrial sector is not the priority of the govern-ment and this has nega-tively affected the sector although Kuwait was the regional leader in this field from the 1970’s until the invasion — when interest in the sector started to dwindle, reports Al-Nahar daily quoting Vice-Board Chairman of the Public Authority for Industry (PAI) and board member of Kuwait Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) Fahad Al-Jouan.
In an interview with the daily, Al-Jouan affirmed the procedures to establish industrial companies in other GCC member-States are faster than in Kuwait. He lament-ed this sector has been neglected and it is clear that it is suffering as there is no attentive ears to indus-try problems.
He underscored the fact that the big responsibility in this regard lies on the government which must have a vision and long-term strate-gy that must not change whenever new ministers or Cabinet members are appointed. He said this negli-gence has resulted in the reduction of factories which serve the local market, so the local products have become expensive due to the high cost of production.
He disclosed the reform docu-ment enacted by the government consists of only a few pages and do not translate into a comprehensive plan for the country; especially since a large part of the document is just general talk, instead of radi-cal solutions to the prevalent prob-lems.
