His Highness the Prime Minister Sabah Al-Khaled has assigned Minister of State for Municipal Affairs and Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development Shaya Al-Shaya to study seven projects related to transforming Kuwait into a financial and commercial hub to attract investments based on a letter written to the Prime Minister Bader Al-Hamidi.
The Prime Minister has asked Al-Shaya about the seven projects and wants to know if there were studies or projects prepared by his ministry related to the subject.
The seven projects are — a proposal for the reconstruction and investment of state-owned vacant lands, a proposal for the reconstruction and investment of Failaka Island, a proposal for the reconstruction and investment of Boubyan Island, a proposal to allocate plots of land to graduates of specialized colleges and institutes for agricultural and animal development projects to provide food security, and a proposal to allocate plots of land for graduates of specialized colleges to complete craft projects and productivity, a proposal for the urban rehabilitation of the Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh area, and a proposal to rehabilitate the Subbiya area for housing and investment projects.
The Al-Qabas daily said, the parliamentarian has cited two reasons; first saying that the development was the dream of Sheikh Nasser Sabah Al-Ahmad and second is the Silk City project.
He added in his letter, gigantic projects were put forward, such as the development of Failaka Island, Boubyan, the construction and development of Kuwait International Airport, and the modernization of sports clubs with the latest buildings to make Kuwait the pearl of the Gulf – the projects to be developed by the private sector without using public money, “if we had honest men who love their country, the people of Kuwait would now proud of their accomplishments.”
