Sources said this also applies to all other external centers. Sources confirmed that the decision aims to ensure the protection of public funds and avoid recurring comments that could lead to administrative or financial litigation. Moreover, another circular was issued to the employees at the Ministry of Information complex, emphasizing the importance of ensuring attendance registration by using both the old and new fingerprint devices. The two systems will continue to operate simultaneously during the trial period, pending a technical performance evaluation before fully adopting the new system. The ministry urged all employees to visit the fingerprint office located next to the general registry if they encounter any technical problems related to attendance.

Meanwhile, sources also revealed that the Central Agency for Public Tenders (CAPT) approved the request of the ministry to reconsider the annual renewal of the contract to provide video news reports in Arabic for Kuwait State Television, in cooperation with an international media agency. Sources said the contract is valid from July 1, 2025, until June 30, 2026, at a total value of $1.5 million. Sources indicated that the ministry justified its request by citing an urgent need to continue this contract in light of the demands of media work and the need to update video news content to keep pace with regional and international developments. They said the ministry is in the process of completing the remaining oversight procedures with the relevant authorities to ensure the integrity of financial and legal procedures.
