The minister said that the decisions are based on His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa’s constant keenness to provide a decent living for all the citizens, through reduced municipal fees, exempting low-income citizens from paying fees in the future or dropping their unpaid debts.
He stressed on the existing coordination between the Municipalities Affairs Department and the Customer Service Directorate at the Electricity and Water Authority (EWA) to reduce municipal fees in electricity and water bills for those families.
