Government departments have been asked to process all paperwork only after receiving electricity and water bills from the individual, a senior Ministry of Electricity and Water appealed through press, reported local daily Kuwait Times reported citing Al Rai news paper.
“Collecting dues is not a technical specialty, but an administrative and financial function,” said Ali Al-Wazzan, Undersecretary Assistant for Control Centers and Information Systems, explaining that “smart meters are not required to help collect dues.” Al Rai news paper reported.
Smart meters are devices that have been installed by the ministry to help control consumption “by alerting users and ministry staff with an updated reading of electricity load,” said Al-Wazzan. “The main reason that smart meters are being used is to protect the distribution network against accidents resulting from an overload,” he added, explaining that a meter ensures that users use the limit power consumption as per the guidelines spelled out by the ministry to prevent an overload. In other news, Ministry of Commerce insiders told Al-Rai that a sum of KD 107 million in dues has accrued against phone and cable services.
