Khaberni - A Saudi study has proposed financial penalties for anyone who exploits sites belonging to the Ministry of Finance or other government sites under its supervision within the sacred sites without right, along with obligating the offenders to pay the rent of the site for the entire duration of exploitation, according to a report by the Saudi General Auditing Bureau.
The report indicates that all courts in Saudi Arabia are specialized in looking at disputes related to the implementation of the provisions of Decision No. (62/M), which regulates the exploitation of state sites and its revenues, thereby enhancing regulatory discipline and protecting public assets.
The report also clarified the formation of a specialized committee to inventory the sites exploited without valid contracts, to study their situations on the ground within the sacred sites, and in government sites that fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance, confirming that work is ongoing to complete the legal procedures associated with addressing these cases.
This action comes as part of the efforts of the Bureau to enhance the efficiency of state property management, protect its resources, and limit any irregular practices that might lead to revenue loss or misuse of the sites within the sacred areas - according to the report.
