Arab Times, 18 November 2024: The Kuwaiti Communications Ministry has announced its ongoing efforts to collect outstanding financial dues for services provided to subscribers.

The ministry has emphasised that it is coordinating with state institutions to restrict transactions of individuals and companies who are in arrears until their debts are fully settled.

The ministry has confirmed that the ban on transactions would remain in effect until all outstanding payments for its services have been cleared.

Over the past few days, the ministry has sent notifications to subscribers via the government application ‘Sahel’, urging them to promptly settle their financial obligations.

The ministry has also stated that an automated disconnection program will be activated in early December 2024.

This program will target both residential and commercial accounts with unpaid dues.

A second notification will be sent through the ‘Sahel’ application in the coming days, informing subscribers of the exact amounts owed.

Subscribers are urged to pay their dues promptly to ensure uninterrupted services and to avoid being included in the disconnection program or facing restrictions on government transactions.

Payments can be made through the ministry’s official website or at regional service centers using the K-Net payment service.
