  • 30/03/2022

Kuwait City: Against His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled, ten MPs have signed a non-cooperation motion. Ahmed Mutei Al-Azmi, Shuaib Al-Muwaizri, Mubarak Al-Hajraf, Saleh Zeiab Al-Mutairi, Fares Al-Otaibi, Abdulkareem Al-Kandari, Hamdan Al-Azmi, Thamer Al-Suwait, Al-SaifiMubarak Al-Saifi, and Soud Bu Sleeb. This came after the National Assembly debated on Tuesday the grilling motion filed by MPs Muhannad Al-Sayer, Khalid Al-Otaibi, and Hassan Jawhar against the premier on the following issues: the premier's illegal practises, disruption of work in the interest of citizens, lack of cooperation with the legislative authority, systematic stealing of public funds, and squandering of national wealth. 


Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim acknowledged that the non-cooperation motion had been received, and that the Assembly would vote on it on April 6. The three MPs were given one hour apiece to deliver the motion during Tuesday's session, while Sheikh Sabah Al-Khalid was given three hours to answer. Al-Sayer emphasised that he and his colleagues are committed to addressing constitutional transgressions, stating that the Constitution safeguards both the state and its citizens. He blames Sheikh Sabah Al-Khalid for the rise of corruption in government organisations. 

He accused the premier of failing to fulfill the promise he made to 16 MPs regarding the ratification of seven urgent bills as agreed in February 2021. He pointed out the agreement would have been the basis for cooperating with the government. On the contrary and to the MPs’ surprise, Sheikh Al-Khalid submitted a request to His Highness the Amir Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah to suspend parliamentary work for one month, because of non-agreement between the Assembly and government.
