Kuwait's Amiri Diwan on Sunday described as "totally untrue and fabrications" remarks by Mubarak Al-Duwailah that he briefed Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah about details of his meeting with former Libyan leader Moammar al-Gaddafi.

Minister of the Amiri Diwan Sheikh Ali Jarrah Al-Sabah, in a statement carried by the Kuwait news agency (KUNA), also denied that the Emir had asked Al-Duwailah to convey the details of the meeting to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz.

Al-Duwailah made the claims during a television show with Mohammad Talal Al-Saeed, aired on June 23, 2020, as well as in a tweet on June 25, 2020.

His remarks are "totally untrue and fabrications," asserted Sheikh Ali.

He said noone could attribute anything to the Emir without "an official approval by the Amiri Diwan." Sheikh Ali warned against such actions which would entail legal action.

Deputy Governor of the Makkah Region Prince Saud bin Mishaal bin Abdulaziz inspected the readiness of the Grand Mosque and its facilities, conducting a field tour to review operational and service preparations for receiving worshippers and Umrah performers during the holy month of Ramadan, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Tuesday.

Prince Saud was briefed on the operational plans implemented by the relevant authorities, including crowd management mechanisms, service enhancements, and facility preparations aimed at ensuring smooth movement and enhancing comfort and safety levels for visitors to the Grand Mosque, particularly during peak times.

He reviewed developmental initiatives and smart services supporting the operational system, notably electric mobility carts for transporting the elderly, persons with disabilities, and those in need of assistance within the Grand Mosque.

The tour also included an overview of the efforts of guidance teams deployed across the corridors and courtyards of the Grand Mosque, providing multilingual assistance and direction.

Prince Saud reviewed the interactive map and digital mobility platform, which allows visitors to plan their routes in advance and identify service locations, entrances and exits, and less crowded pathways.

He was briefed on crowd management systems, including the visitor density sensor platform that measures human density in real time, and the Tawaf and Sa’i crowd status display service, which allows worshippers to select appropriate times to perform rituals with ease. Models of the modern multilingual guidance system were also reviewed.

Prince Saud also visited the Smart Engineering Command and Control Center, which serves as an advanced central platform linking operational systems and monitoring performance in real time, boosting operational efficiency and raising readiness levels during Ramadan.
