KUWAIT CITY, June 12: The Economist Intelligence Unit says the increasing demand for electricity in Kuwait in early June caused by an early summer heat wave coincided with a new warning of repeated delays in major projects to increase power production capacity, reports Al-Rai daily. The unit believes these developments highlight the chronic deficiencies in the implementation of government projects in Kuwait, which are currently exacerbated by the political wrangling that has led to the failure to modernize the infrastructure to deal with the growth of demand and contain the effects of climate change. The unit pointed out that these delays have always been a feature of government projects in Kuwait, and that their main cause is due to the shortcomings (bureaucracy and politicization).
