Mazen Al-Nahedh, Minister of Commerce and Industry and Minister of State for Communications and Information Technology Affairs, announced 262 government services will be available exclusively through Sahel.

The success of the application, Al-Nahedh told Al-Rai daily, has contributed to the attainment of Kuwait's digital transformation goals in line with its National Development Plan. The number of Vision 2035 users has exceeded one million, who have completed about 8.610 million services, and have received about 29 million notifications and 17.615 million statements.

He indicated that the number of entities participating in the application is 28, providing 277 services, leaving approximately 400 electronic services with those entities, which have not been converted to “Sahel”; and added that the step comes as a continuation of reaping the fruits of success, and is very supportive of launching the application in completing transactions, without reviewing government agencies, as this will have a great impact in directing the different segments of society to electronic dealing in completing transactions, and on the other hand, easing pressure on government agencies and preventing wasting time in completing transactions manually despite their electronic availability, through the Sahel application.

In addition, we will be able to reduce traffic congestion and direct work energies from each side to other businesses to make the best use of them.
