The ruling stems from a disagreement over COVID-era procurement contracts.
A Kuwaiti court has ordered the country’s Health Ministry to pay 13 million dinars, or roughly 42 million U.S. dollars, following a dispute over pandemic-related contracts.
The case involved claims of non-payment and contractual violations tied to emergency medical supplies acquired during the height of the
COVID-19 crisis.
Legal experts say the decision underscores growing scrutiny over public sector spending and procurement transparency in Kuwait.
