being] allegedly pursued relentlessly by various businesses and banks for monies owed

This is normal in Bahrain, a lot of people owe money and don’t pay for years. The courts are filled with cases of this sort against well known merchants and sheik’s. Re the corrupt schemes, I heard about a couple but not from reliable sources. Bin Rajab family have a lot of differences between them and they do cook up a lot of stories to discredit each other.

What is this comment about his royal father in law, tell us more Anon.

…clear up the various puddles which are breeding billions of insects like mosquitoes and other choice infestations.

Now all we have to do is another brainfarty thing and import frogs to eat the insects. Wait for the water to dry, the frogs to die from dehydration and the decomposed bodies to require another tender to clean up the mess. All in all someone makes money under the table again.

Don’t you just love the system of being screwed for free….

[being] allegedly pursued relentlessly by various businesses and banks for monies owed and allegedly implicated in various corrupt schemes.

… according to an informed source in Bahrain.

Ministry of Municipalities is the responsible for cleaning “sewage” and “garbage”. Ministry of Works is the one responsible for designing the roads and the drains.

So if Ministry of Works didn’t work very well, then Ministry of Muncipalities would have to work so hard to clean the mess.

Way back then, 20 years? 30 years ago?!, there was only one Ministry “Ministry of Muncipalities”, plan cities, villages, design roads, clean “sewage” and “garbage”, and inspect.

Not anymore.

P.S. If they would have given me 100 employees and one ministry, I would have been able to run Bahrain better than any place. Privitize everything. Everybody would have to work harder and gain much back. No useless thousands of workers in the ministries, doing nothing, but wasting money.

I could be mistaken of course, things might have changed, but I don’t think so. Ever since we were wee tots we knew that whoever worked in the municipality was called “sewage sweeper” or in Arabic خمام بواليع hence my understanding that it is indeed his responsibility to clear up the various puddles which are breeding billions of insects like mosquitoes and other choice infestations.

Come to think of it, isn’t it the municipality who own and operate the pump-trucks? All eight of them?
