KUWAIT CITY, Sept 6: Chairperson of the Union of Consumer Cooperative Societies Maryam Al-Awadh sent follow up letters to cooperative societies, as per the instruction of Minister of Social, Family and Childhood Affairs Dr. Amthal Al-Huwailah, emphasizing the need to implement previous circulars on landscaping, beautification and maintenance of facilities within the scope of the work of cooperatives in line with the cooperative work regulations. In official circulars addressed to cooperative societies, Al-Awadh explained that these steps are in line with the commitment of the Union to follow up on previous decisions and ensure their proper implementation.

She pointed out that this activates the societal role of cooperative societies and provides a civilized and attractive environment for their patrons, as per the vision of the Ministry of Social Affairs to develop public services. Al-Awadh addressed another letter to cooperative societies regarding the need to remove abandoned vehicles from their yards and parking areas. She asserted that this phenomenon violates regulations and procedures, distorts the general appearance, hinders the use of facilities designated to serve shareholders and shoppers, and contravenes security procedures that stipulate such vehicles should not be left for extended periods without monitoring.

She indicated that if such vehicles are found, cooperative societies must contact the Kuwait Municipality and other concerned authorities to take the necessary measures. She added that these directives complement the previous oversight efforts and ensure effective implementation, calling on all cooperatives to strictly comply with the regulations and instructions, reflecting the civilized image of cooperatives and their role in serving the community.
