KUWAIT CITY, Oct 20: The Public Facilities Management Company has requested the delivery and operation of the multi-storey car park in Dasman, which is considered the biggest car park in Kuwait, with an estimated capacity of 2,300 cars, reports Al-Anba quoting responsible sources.

The sources said the company has sent a letter to the Kuwait Municipality requesting that the facility to be handed over to it, to manage it, operate it and maintain it according to the purpose for which it was intended, and to complete the observations during operation so that public money to build this facility is not wasted and to maximize the state’s nonoil revenues, especially since the car park was completed in 2019 and has not yet been exploited.

The sources stated that the proposal submitted by the “public utilities” is to sign a temporary contract with the Kuwait Municipality to take over the car park until completion of the contract between the Ministry of Finance and the Public Utilities Company to avoid observations by the regulatory authorities (Accounting Bureau), due to the need to avoid the traffic problems in the crowded area of high-rise commercial towers, as any closure of the parking lot will cause traffic crises that lead to the closure of the capital. It should be noted that the Dasman car park extends over an area of 13,000 square meters and consists of 6 fl oors and a basement.
