Establishment of Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal Museum in 'Al-Qibla'

Fahad Al-Abd al-Jader, head of the Legal and Financial Committee of the Municipal Council, announced that the committee discussed several vital transactions and proposals on its agenda during its meeting on Monday, and took decisions that serve the interests of municipal work and protect the rights of citizens and consumers.

Following the committee meeting, Al-Abd al-Jader stated that the committee approved accepting a donation from Kuwait Finance House to establish the Imam Abdul Rahman bin Faisal Al Saud Museum and its surrounding area in the Qibla district. He praised this national initiative, which reflects the deep, historic, and fraternal ties between the State of Kuwait and the sister Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He commended the executive body’s efforts to monitor the project’s implementation in accordance with the highest engineering and heritage standards under the supervision of the Kuwait Municipality.

Regarding a proposal to regulate and supervise the accuracy of declared nutritional values in restaurants, Al-Abd al-Jader expressed strong rejection and full objection to the executive body’s response, which opposed the proposal on the grounds that it falls outside the municipality’s jurisdiction. He emphasized that consumer protection, oversight of commercial practices, and ensuring the health of citizens in restaurants and cafes are at the core of the municipality’s regulatory and supervisory role. He stressed that the committee decided to keep the issue on the agenda and invite relevant authorities for serious discussion.
