Statement
On Dec 21, 2018, Abul was quoted as saying that the government causes destruction to the nation; considering that it remains silent whenever someone delivers a sectarian speech, while it sues whoever advises it to take action against those who spread sectarian thoughts in society.

“As MP, I represent the entire society. I am concerned about a group of citizens who feel isolated and marginalized. The government condemns me for taking such a position; thereby, forcing me to react in an impolite manner,” he asserted.

On the other hand, the Ministry of Education has announced that classes in 118 schools will be suspended from Sep 27-28; because these schools will be used as polling precincts on Sept 29 – Election Day. These schools will be handed over to the Ministry of Interior by the end of official working hours on Sept 26.

Meanwhile, Kuwait Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha) has completed the bill on monitoring the candidates’ expenditures on their electoral campaigns. The bill will be referred to the government for revision, if necessary; and then it will be referred to the next legislature for ratification. By Saeed Mahmoud Saleh Arab Times Staff
