Bahrain's Ministry of Housing has started delivering keys to the recipients of houses in the Hunainya project in the kingdom.

The eligible beneficiaries had already been given the contracts entitling them to their respective units after finalising all procedures and requirements, said a BNA report.

The move followed directives from His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al-Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Premier, to distribute 3,000 units to eligible citizens across Bahrain.

In a statement today, the ministry said that it had finalised all contract procedures smoothly over the past week paving the way for the keys to be handed over to the eligible citizens.

Housing Minister Basem bin Yacoub Al-Hamer gave instructions to complete the contract procedures and fast-track the distribution of keys to the beneficiaries.
