He described any solution other than what he suggested as a way of securing electoral gains and mixing papers by the government. He also explained that suspended his plan to grill HH the prime minister Sheikh Sabah Al- Khaled Al-Sabah until the end of the grace period given to the Legislative Affairs Committee to fi- nalize discussions on the comprehensive amnesty draft law.

Meanwhile, MP Khalil Abul said someone is unsatisfied with the work of the Legislative Affairs Committee due to its position on the comprehensive amnesty draft law in the previous session. He added some MPs want the committee to work according to their whims, so they were furious as manifested in that session.
