A call has been made to abolish the income ceiling for citizens who applied for housing in 2004 or earlier and, after years of waiting, are now seeking alternative solutions.
The proposal by five MPs led by Hamad Al Doy has been formally referred to Parliament’s public utilities and environment affairs committee for review.
It aims to give citizens greater freedom in selecting the most suitable housing option, regardless of their income level.
“The income ceiling has created unnecessary barriers for many long-waiting applicants,” said Mr Al Doy.
“People who applied decades ago – some before 2004 – should not be penalised by a rigid salary cap that does not reflect today’s economic realities. This proposal restores fairness and offers citizens the flexibility they deserve.”
