From independence until today, the government has clung to issues it considers sovereign, either by virtue of the constitution and the law, or by virtues and norms.
Since the first government, or shortly thereafter, the financial situation of the state has been the prerogative of a greater and higher authority than the deputy minister of finance, or its minister and the case remains until today.
As far as I know, no finance minister has been able since liberation to fully grasp the minutes of the components of the state budget, so what is presented to the National Assembly does not often represent the truth, also, the budget is not sent to the Assembly with a full explanation of all spending items in it because the matter is sovereign. Perhaps there was one minister, who knew that, but he wreaked havoc.
Likewise, the current Minister of Finance, who has been an undersecretary of the ministry for years, has no real control over the state budget or the assets of future generations.
As for the other sovereign matter that the government was keen to control is related to the issue of the real quantity of produced crude oil, and hence what was sold or exported. The confusion always revolved around the existence of differences between what was produced and what was exported and what was supplied in terms of the price for the state treasury.
As for the third and dangerous sovereign matter, which the government was keen to stick to all its strings is related to the issue of naturalization. For example, the number of original Kuwaitis did not exceed one hundred thousand sixty years ago, so how the number snowballed to one and a half million now?
It is clear that the increase did not result from natural reproduction, but rather as a result of a systematic, sometimes random naturalization process.
There came a period with the flood of oil money and the increase in regional risks resulting from nationalism and sectarianism, from the point of view of the authority, which pushed it to seek power from elements from the Bedouins, which it saw at the time that it might constitute a weight that could be used to achieve internal security, from its point of view, and thus it constituted an impetus for influential parties to naturalize their group either to favor them in elections or to increase their chances of assuming governance matters but most of these people died without achieving what they wanted but they left us with a tragic situation difficult to deal with.
Another complementary crime took place, which was the same influential bodies, with government support to facilitate the manipulation of degrees of nationality by increasing the number of first-degree holders.
In the same context, and confirming the government’s desire to keep the nationality issue in its hands, it recently withdrew the proposed law related to making necessary amendments to the election law, which was previously submitted by the former Minister of Interior Anas Al-Saleh related to the establishment of a national council to supervise elections and give the judiciary not the Interior Ministry a greater oversight role, and its opposition to the proposed law may have come out of its desire to keep the citizenship status and the elections under its control.
