YOUR Highness the Prime Minister, we yesterday mentioned to you a few points that concern the citizens. We hope that you read them so that people do not feel like the executive authority is on another planet, and unconcerned about people’s affairs.

Today we put forward three models of governance for administrations that succeeded in getting their countries out of intractable crises, and were able to advance.

The first model is that of the late US President Franklin Roosevelt who was loved by the American people. He was the only one who was elected four consecutive times, and he remained in office until he passed away in 1945.

After his death, his deputy Harry Truman assumed power in accordance with the US Constitution. In the eyes of the people, he was weak and did not have the charisma of his predecessor.

It therefore came as a surprise when that man was able to reveal an extraordinary power. He defeated the Japanese Empire, launched the Marshall Plan through which Europe was built after it was destroyed by World War II, and made the United States a global power at all levels.

The second model is that of Egypt’s late President Anwar Sadat. His predecessor Jamal Abdul Naser had preoccupied the Arab world with his nationalist slogans, but he was defeated time after time, leaving Egypt to suffer from several crises. However, people viewed Sadat as weak and unable to fill the void left by Abdul Naser.

The Nasserite era was a heavy legacy, rather a ball of fire caught by the man. He worked to end the crisis situation in the country, whether it was through the October War, the recovery of Sinai and the Suez Canal, and the liberation of the occupied lands.

He was the champion of crossing over, or working to achieve reconciliation with Israel from a position of strength. He was also the champion of peace, as he realized that Egypt could not rise while it was shackled by the restrictions of stagnation resulting from corruption and the dominance of power centers over the country, and the great war effort. That is why he quickly launched a legal modernization workshop, in addition to openness, and got the country out of its crises. Through him, Egypt was able to return to exercising its Arab role stronger than it was.

The third model is that of the late Chinese President Deng Xiaoping, who inherited a large country suffering from famine. At that time, the men of the Communist Party controlled the necks of the Chinese nation. Industry and agriculture were living their worst days due to the totalitarian mentality, the inability to meet the needs of the people, and the imposition of partisan leadership on the population to be satisfied with one person.

However, Xiaoping realized that getting out of the impasse that was threatening the country required working with unconventional thinking. He found no choice but to seek the help of experts from those outside the party that was tainted with corruption. He hence had requested Oxford University to send economists.

The person who went to China was a British citizen of Iraqi origin, Elias Korkis. The president had ordered all employees in the government to follow the directions of the man.

That is why he was able to advance China within a few years, and turn it into a market economy and the largest industrial and commercial power in the world. He founded the strategy of the economic development renaissance project in the largest country in terms of population. For this reason, the Chinese immortalized Deng Xiaoping and considered him the second founder of China after Mao Zedong.

Your Highness, these models are similar to Kuwait in some circumstances.

The American crisis after the Great Depression cast a shadow over the country, but it was able to rise after about ten years, thanks to the help of qualified expert assistants.

Egypt went through difficult circumstances but emerged from them with the strength of Sadat’s resilience and his firm decision.

As for China, it is true that the party chooses the president, and this does not differ from monarchical states and is similar to the system of government in Kuwait.

This means that the choice is made by the ruling family, and His Highness the Amir puts his trust in a man who is characterized by the ability to manage the executive authority.

Your Highness, the country cannot be governed by 51 amirs, i.e. the parliamentarians and the legitimate amir of the state.

Likewise, there should not be a parallel executive authority, along with the actual one, in the shadows represented by parliamentarians and the deep state.

That is why you have the full power that qualifies you to exercise your role to the fullest, and to advance Kuwait either in financial or industrial affairs or food security, and openness to the world. The future generations will ask what the executive authority did, and not what the parliamentarians said.
