DO WE live in a country governed by an Amir, a constitution, a parliament, authorities and institutions? Or do we live on a ranch ruled by some MPs and a few members of the ruling house, who have deviated from the traditions of the honorable family? These questions linger in the minds of Kuwaitis, who want to live peacefully in a just country that applies the law on everybody. Although the MPs know that Kuwait is a state of institutions, some of them have crossed the red line in a desperate attempt to impose their will on the people.

They have gone as far as asking those who stormed the National Assembly building to visit them before turning themselves to the Public Prosecution. Have the head of thugs and his supporters become the rulers of the country? Has the State turned into a ranch owned by a parliamentary minority, which lost its legitimacy when it incited people to break the law?
Those who stormed the Parliament building have committed a crime; hence, the law must be strictly enforced on them. They should pay dearly for their violent acts. The relevant authorities must keep in mind that hesitancy in dealing with such cases only opens the door wide to chaos and destruction of institutions; thereby, giving the thugs a chance to act as a de-facto authority that controls everything according to their whims.

Once again, the popular majority has renewed its allegiance to the country and its leaders. This implies new delegation of authority to the ruling house and the Emirate with regards to application of the law on everybody. Any hesitation in this matter will reinforce people’s perception that neither the ruling house nor the State had taken any measure to protect their backs after a long and bitter period of uncertainty. This has prompted some persons to exceed the limits of freedom and democracy. It has also raised concern amongst people about their future and destiny, especially after seeing a group of MPs, who do not shy away from committing any crime just to satisfy their craving for power.
The parliamentary minority did not leave a cause without riding its wave. This happened when employees demanded salary increments during the process of approving new pay scales. They have incited students to organize protest actions, instead of going to school. Whenever the government grants demands of the people, this group claims to be the protector of public funds, accusing the executive authority of overspending and emptying the country’s coffers. These persons have turned into bats that look for the darkness of vexation in order to jump at any cause, incite people and cripple the State institutions.

They have turned HH the Prime Minister into their dilemma. They have become prisoners of the darkness of their ideas and the personal nature of their animosity towards him. They have fabricated issues to put him through interpellations on almost anything, regardless of whether he is responsible or not. They have continued to push the country from one crisis to another, without realizing that their efforts were futile. The State and its institutions will remain even if Sheikh Nasser Mohammad hands over the office to another person, while the Amiri directives and laws will be applied. Their blind vexation will never benefit them.
The ruler reiterated his stand recently on the style of managing national affairs. If those who claim during the day that they obey HH the Amir and do the opposite at night genuinely abide by the wisdom of the Amir, what has been preventing them from implementing his orders? This may be the final test for them, but it seems those infected with foolishness have become deaf. Their animosity has turned them into losing political professionals.
Masks have fallen off the faces of Wednesday’s thugs due to the popular consensus, as the people have clearly expressed what they want. They appealed to the ruler saying, “We want decisive and firm application of the law. Do not disappoint us because we do not want pardon or tolerance for anyone who has violated the sanctity of Kuwait and its people.”
