Anti-corruption authority targets cooperative society leadership in financial mismanagement probe.
KUWAIT CITY, June 16: In a pioneering move for Kuwait’s cooperative sector, Rawda and Hawally Cooperative Society has launched a 24-hour online delivery service through its dedicated mobile application, reports Al-Rai daily. The new service covers all areas of Kuwait, including chalets and farms, marking a significant milestone in the digital transformation efforts of the cooperative. Omar Ahmed Al-Ansari, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and Head of the Technical Committee and Investor Branches at the cooperative, pointed out that this initiative reflects the commitment of the cooperative to providing a seamless and modern shopping experience that meets the expectations of Rawda and Hawally residents. “The service is accessible to all consumers—shareholders and non-shareholders — with an option to enter their cooperative fund number when placing an order,” he revealed. Al-Ansari explained that the application offers access to a variety of departments, including the Perfumes and Beauty Center, Rawda Pharmacy, Rawda Café and Bakery, as well as the main cooperative market, allowing users to shop conveniently from multiple sections.
“This digital leap comes as part of our innovative response to the temporary closure of the central market for renovations, which will continue until Oct 15. Our goal is to maintain uninterrupted service and ensure that our community continues to receive the highest level of support without disruption,” he asserted. He added that while the central market undergoes renovation, all spare parts branches and central markets in Hawally will remain operational around the clock to ensure the continued presence and accessibility of the cooperative. “Achievement is a mindset. We are committed to advancing on all fronts through projects and initiatives that strengthen our leadership in the cooperative sector, always striving to deliver the best for the people of Rawda and Hawally,” he stressed.
He reaffirmed the Board of Directors’ commitment to food security and the sustainable provision of strategic stock; noting that this remains a key pillar of the long-term strategy of the cooperative, implemented under the direct supervision of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor. He expressed his sincere appreciation to Minister of Social Affairs and Labor Dr. Amthal Al-Huwailah for her continuous support for cooperative development, her encouragement of innovative initiatives, and her dedication to empowering young leaders in the sector. He also extended gratitude to the board members and the hardworking national staff at the cooperative, whose tireless efforts and strong sense of responsibility have been instrumental in the success of this national cooperative project.
