‘Luxury spring’ in Kuwait

Rallies put off due to hot weather

Some Kuwaiti MPs, who repeatedly called for the resignation of HH the Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Mohammad Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah in the series of Friday protests recently, proved they are not serious in their demand when they postponed the demonstrations due to the scorching heat of summer and for them to spend their summer holiday in Europe.


Under the leadership of HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah and the prime minister, Kuwait has started moving towards advancement. It has laid down the $145 million development plan, which includes health cities, educational villages, underground transportation and rail road systems, new airports and other infrastructure projects.

Nevertheless, the incessant and unnecessary conflicts in the Parliament have stopped it from playing its role effectively. It should focus on the enactment of new legislation and monitor the performance of the ministers, particularly in carrying out their administrative duties and implementing public policy.

The Middle Eastern springs emerged due to rising unemployment rate and poverty. The average income in Egypt is two dollars a day and most people there cannot even afford to buy food, yet here we are busy trying different diet programs and undergoing surgeries to remove body fats.

As part of the Kuwaiti nation, we are responsible for building the country. We must work closely with our leaders to achieve the Amir’s vision of transforming Kuwait into a financial hub in the region without any further delay. However, the pointless escalation of tension has delayed the implementation of many mega projects and this will undoubtedly cost Kuwait billions of dollars!
