AMMAN — Social Security Investment Fund (SSIF) Chairman Suleiman Hafez on Sunday called on media outlets to be “responsible” in their coverage of the case regarding the fund’s stake in the Housing Bank.

Voicing appreciation of the media’s interest in the case, Hafez described some news reports as “unrealistic” and “inaccurate” at times, citing the case’s sensitivity, as it is related to the assets of Social Security Corporation subscribers.

Hafez said the company that filed a lawsuit against the SSIF may leak rumours to elicit reactions that it might use in court proceedings.

The company that filed the lawsuit is not a Kuwaiti firm as has been published, he stressed, denying reports that the SSIF changed its defence team.
