(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) A Ministry of Commerce and Industry body targeting protection of consumers against negative practices on the market has finalized the formation of subcommittees, a ministry official said.
Forming the subcommittees of the National Committee for Consumer Protection (NCCP) is a significant step toward controlling the market for people's welfare and the good of the national economy, NCCP Deputy Chairman Abdullah Al-Enezi told KUNA.
Al-Enezi who is the ministry's Assistant Undersecretary for Market Control and Consumers' Protection added that a host of resolutions were taken last night on subcommittees in line with article 26 of law 39/2014.
Following the formation of the technical secretariat subcommittee, other four followed last night, for investigating complaints, checking quality standards, media, and reviewing contracts, he said. A mechanism will soon be designed for the duties of each.
The NCCP, the nucleus of a higher objective, setting up an independent public authority for consumer protection, is a firm tool to counter trade fraud and unlawful price hikes, Al-Enezi stressed.
