Ten MPs have submitted a request for a probe into the ‘lowly’ living standards of Bahraini citizens. The request is spearheaded by MP Ahmed Al Salloom.
It will focus on the currency’s purchase power locally, pay and wages alongside allowances and incentives, price ranges for products and services, and general living standards.
“We want to identify the reasons behind the fall in the living standards of nationals despite financial improvements that the country is witnessing,” said Mr Al Salloom.
“Parliament has to find urgent solutions to ensure that citizens are able to recover their finances, manage their living expenses, and are able to cope with future financial demands.”
The request has been handed over to Parliament Speaker Ahmed Al Musallam for scheduling.
