KUWAIT, July 1, 2017
Kuwait will soon invite bids for a project to build a new city in the northern Al Jahra governorate of the country that can accommodate nearly 20,000 expatriate workers, said a report.
The "Southwest Al Jahra labour city" would be the first such project to be offered as a joint partnership with the private sector, reported Arabic language daily Al Nahar, citing a senior minister.
"We are preparing documents for the project so it will be offered to the private sector on a PPP (public-private partnership) basis," stated Kuwait's Minister of State for Municipal Affairs Mohammed Al Jabri.
The government is planning such similar projects with private partnership," he stated.
The project would be completed in 2021, he added.
