A proposal to ease financial pressures on Bahraini families enrolled in the Mazaya housing programme has been launched by the Strategic Thinking Bloc, which is urging that monthly instalments be calculated solely on basic salary and social allowance – excluding all other benefits.
The motion, led by bloc spokesman MP Khalid Bu Onk, was planned for debate yesterday but was postponed after Parliament Speaker Ahmed Al Musallam opted to end the parliamentary session following eight hours of discussions .
