New chapter in book of fighting for freedom: Jinan Boushahri

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 7: A number of MPs expressed their support for the ongoing Operation Al-Aqsa Flood launched by the Palestinian resistance groups in Gaza against Israel. MP Osama Al- Shaheen called upon all Arab and Muslim countries to provide support to the Palestinians to resist the Israeli occupation. He said, “If the resistant groups can succeed without Arab and Muslim support, imagine what they can do if they receive the needed support?!”

MP Jinan Boushahri affirmed that the Palestinian resistance has written a new chapter in the book of fighting for freedom. MP Dawoud Marafie prayed to Allah Almighty to support the Palestinians in their battle against Israel.

MPs Badr Sayyar Al-Shammari, Hamdan Al Azmi, Hamad Al-Matar, Adel Al-Damkhi, Meteb Al-Anzi, Abdul Kareem Al-Kandari, Hamad Al-Medlej, Fahad bin Jame’e, Muhannad Al-Sayer, Fayez Al-Jomhour, Marzouq Al-Ghanim and other MPs also announced their support for the Palestinian resistance’s operation.

Footages are being widely circulated that show trucks belonging to the Palestinian resistance groups rushing towards Israeli settlements established on Gaza land. They show Palestinians seizing Israeli military equipment, vehicles, and soldiers. In another development, the Chairman of the parliament’s Committee for Financial and Economic Affairs MP Shuaib Al Muwaizri disclosed that some MPs do not want bills on popular demands to be completed and referred to the parliament. He indicated that they believe if those bills reach the stage of discussion and voting, they will create a huge crisis leading to the dissolution of the parliament.

However, from his perspective, the real crisis is the threat against the state or cutting parts of the citizens’ rights. Al-Muwaizri said talks about the alleged deficit in the public budget are nonsense, as Kuwait owns tremendous wealth and is richer than the rest of the Gulf countries including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. He indicated that the revenues from the overseas investments of Kuwait are higher than the revenues of oil.

The lawmaker revealed that the real problem faced by Kuwait is wrong management by the government, indicating that 90 percent of the problems require decisions to be issued by the Council of Ministers rather than legislation. He stressed that bills on public loans submitted by the government have not been discussed in the committee, adding that he, as the committee chairman, will not allow them to be discussed.

In addition, MP Muhammad Hayef Al-Mutairi submitted a proposal for the establishment of an educational complex for disabled children in every governorate covering all educational stages. He suggested the immediate allocation of a school in every governorate for this purpose until the educational complexes are completed.
