Kuwait: The Ministry of Electricity and Water (MEW) has finalized contracts for the construction of nine new water storage towers in the Sabah Al-Ahmad housing estate. The reinforced concrete towers, costing a total of KD8.5 million, should be completed and ready for use within the next year, said an MEW official, adding that they will provide water for Sabah Al-Ahmad residents and any others in the area requiring it. Meanwhile, the MEW is awaiting the delivery of a number of massive new soundproofed diesel generators.
The generators, costing a total of KD15 million, are expected to arrive before Ramadan when the demand for power peaks and will be allocated to those areas prone to power cuts just in case of any blackouts. On a separate issue, MP Mohammad Al-Huwaila has supported parliamentary colleagues' calls for an emergency meeting of the National Assembly council to discuss the problems faced by high school graduates unable to get places at Kuwait University despite meeting the entrance criteria due to the university's overcapacity problems.
