Amer Al-Ajmi, the government spokesperson and Head of the Local Affairs Sector, has denied the claims made by a representative on Monday regarding an imminent rise in fuel prices. He stated to Kuwait News Agency that the government has not yet reached a final decision on increasing fuel prices. Al-Ajmi stressed that the matter is still being discussed and examined within the Ministerial Committee for Economic Affairs, and no decision has been made so far.
