PM: Kuwait gov’t, lawmakers reach quasi-consensus on forthcoming agenda

Kuwait’s government and parliament appear to have reached an apparent consensus on what needs to be done for the foreseeable future, His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Dr. Mohammad Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah said on Sunday.

Citing “growing concerns” over the “fight” for national development, the Kuwaiti prime minister spoke of a number of suggestions, discussed amid a government-parliament joint coordination committee meeting, aiming to serve the nation’s best interests.

As his government prepares to take the oath of office in parliament on February 6, he said the talks provided him with the opportunity to share the government’s “workplan” to ensure a prosperous future for the nation, while keeping an eye on present requirements.

The government’s workplan, pending completion, will be presented in parliament as planned, he underlined, saying any alterations to the agenda along with the “legislative roadmap” will be addressed in due course. (KUNA)
