He reiterated that the government has done everything necessary to provide food security for citizens and residents despite the COVID-19 pandemic, stressing the need not to store goods because they are available in all shopping centers throughout the year.

Efforts
He pointed to the specificity of the blessed month of Ramadan among societies, which leads to an increase in commodity consumption rates, which places responsibility on state agencies and the Union of Cooperative Societies to exert more efforts. During the governor’s tour in the Sabah Al-Salem Cooperative Society, he listened to an explanation from the Chairman of the Board of Directors about what the association’s management has done to provide all the needs of citizens and residents in terms of basic and consumer goods in general and Ramadan in particular at reasonable prices, which prevents some merchants from exploiting the holy month to artificially increasing prices and place extra burdens on the consumers.
