The Assistant Undersecretary for Planning, Training and Customer Service Affairs Ahmed Al-Rashidi affirmed the keenness of the ministry to reach all consumers by updating its various programs, especially those related to the payment of electricity and water consumption fees, in order to make it easier for customers to pay their debts to the ministry without accumulation or delay. In a press statement issued last week, he explained that the ministry made an update on the “payment application”.

The application was available on “Android” devices, and consumers who own these devices could pay from it. The update on the “IOS” device took about 48 hours and is available in the app store from Thursday.
