Kuwait City - An investigation was launched into allegations that official documents show that 400 'male couples ' applied for government housing.
Minister of State for Housing Affairs Jenan Bushehri had said that authorities found the names of husband and wife applicants were all male names. The alleged forgers did so to benefit from housing allowance and housing loans provided by the government.
The National Assembly asked the Ministry of Housing to inquire into the cases and take the required measures.
The revelation came during a special debate on the housing problem, as MPs claimed that the number of those waiting for government housing is still very large despite government assurances to distribute more houses.
