KUWAIT CITY, April 13: The National Assembly has instructed the Interior and Defense Committee to probe the dual citizenship issue in cooperation of the Ministry of Interior (MoI) upon the request of Minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Khalid Al-Sabah.
Speaking during Tuesday’s session, Sheikh Al-Khalid pointed out, “dual citizenship is a very sensitive issue. We usually take measures in accordance with Article 11 of the Citizenship Law. I prefer to discuss this issue with the committee away from the media.”
Meanwhile, the National Assembly scheduled a session on May 11 to discuss the soaring prices of nutritional products, as well as the steps taken by the government to curb the rising prices of these items.
The Parliament also agreed to discuss a draft bill on the civil and social rights of women on April 30, while the lawmakers asked the Audit Bureau to look into the alleged financial and administrative violations committed by the Ministry of Information and irregularities in the Jaber Stadium project.
