Also, the closure follows inspection campaigns to monitor the market and commercial activities, prevent price manipulation and expose violations pertaining to counterfeit goods and non-conformance with standard specifications.
Inspectors fined the centre and ordered it closed in line with Article 7 of Law No. 8 of 2008, which prohibits suppliers of goods from selling, displaying, offering or advertising corrupt or fraudulent products, reports The Peninsula.
Products are considered corrupt if they do not conform with standards specifications, are unusable or have expired.
The administrative closure is published on the ministry’s website and two newspapers at the centre’s expense in line with Article 3 of the law on consumer protection.
This place also does not have standard prices and charges clients different amounts for the exact same services!
Wow another one!!! Great move!
Go Natural ....... I think this message is working .......... Less customers lead to stock build up hence expiry .......... Inner beauty is important than the skin colouring ....
Well done to the authorities - we support you - joys
