Kuwait’s National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim said His Highness the Deputy Amir and Crown Prince’s call to “reorder” politics in the country is “necessary and warranted,” describing his earlier address as firm and clear.
In his assessment of on the address, the parliament chief said, in a statement, that His Highness Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad AlJaber Al-Sabah shed light on a couple of aspects, when highlighting corruption in the country. These include “the need to tackle corruption, that nobody is above the law – even members of the Ruling Family – and that the matter has gained his own personal interest and observation.”
The other being “not to use these irregular acts as a reason and a means to spread a culture of frustration and portray Kuwait as a ‘hub for corruption,’ as described by His Highness (the Deputy Amir),” Al-Ghanim added.
“His Highness, while stressing the need to fight corruption and obtain fair punishment for the corrupt, stressed his condemnation of what he called, the heresy of leaks and manifestations of tampering and spreading an atmosphere of discord and harming the nation.”
His Highness the Deputy Amir was also keen to reiterate the words of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad AlJaber Al-Sabah, who repeatedly warned of the dangers some social media rumors, in their deviation of the truth and aim to spread an atmosphere of sedition and launch baseless accusations. He also warned against being drawn in to such an atmosphere, the chief lawmaker concluded.
