This is the main topic in the weekly discussions at Al-Dughaishim Diwan, with Capital Governor Sheikh Abdullah Salem Al-Ali Al- Sabah; Sheikh Abdullah Fahad Al-Abdullah Al-Sabah, Dean of Kuwaiti Journalism Ahmed Al-Jarallah and a number of prominent social and media figures in attendance. Sheikh Abdullah Salem Al-Ali Al-Sabah pointed out that the situation in Kuwait has changed dramatically in light of the government’s wise directives, stressing that “we work as one team and live as one cohesive family.

The governors’ powers are exercised with complete transparency through continuous communication and coordination with ministers and officials in the interest of the public and to better serve our beloved country. Cooperation between State agencies is a fundamental pillar of the success of government work.” He affirmed that “as governors, we work side by side with the ministers within a single, integrated system, united by national goals and motivated by a shared commitment to the advancement and prosperity of the country. The secret to our success lies in our belief in the importance of integration and cooperation, free from bureaucracy; and a commitment to being close to citizens and constantly striving to meet their needs and follow up their issues.”

Al-Jarallah commended the relentless efforts of the government to maximize the impact of the governors’ work on development and service delivery and to grant them a more effective role in forming the governorate council, which assists them in exercising their responsibilities. He called for launching an initiative to support beautification projects in the governorates. He pointed out this initiative relies on symbolic contributions to address the challenges hindering beautification work, such as water and equipment shortage and other issues. He stressed the importance of the governors’ role in supporting and promoting this initiative, given their closeness to the people and their trust in him.
