YOUR Highness the Deputy Amir and  Crown Prince, rectifying the nation’s missteps is the task of the loyal ruler on whom the people build their hopes.

Given that the greatness of a person appears in times of tribulations, this is undoubtedly the mouthpiece of all Kuwaitis today. They see in your Highness a man of Kuwait who strives with all honesty and eagerness to restore it to its prosperity and historical role when it was a model in the region.

Hence, Kuwaitis today are betting not to go backwards again as that has been the case over the past years when the country was almost torn apart and undermined.

For this reason, people rejoiced in the resolute measures that Your Highness directed the Council of Ministers to work on, and at how the results of reform began to appear clearly, either by holding the laggard, negligent and corrupt officials accountable, or through a series of historical decisions that are taken successively, all of which meet the hopes of citizens and residents who aspire for prosperity of the nation paralleled with fairness and justice.

Those close to Your Highness know your keenness to follow what is published in newspapers and social media, and the pain you endure when the honor and reputation of officials and some of the statesmen get smeared. However, this is the levy of those who handle the affairs of their people.

We do realize that this matter is very stressful. Nevertheless, we are very satisfied with your direct follow-up of the affairs at almost all levels, especially the interactions with officials to clarify whatever has been published about them, and the measures that are taken in this regard.

Today, everyone is aware of how the institutions are cleaned of manipulators, especially after the retribution of the corrupt, of whom there are still many, which means that the road is difficult to get rid of the pests left by the deep state that worked to break the country.

Today, political and administrative shakeups apply on all in order to get rid of injustice and discrimination. Those who are qualified for the task will remain in their position, and those who are not worthy, His Highness the Prime Minister should order their dismissal.

Your Highness the Crown Prince, it is the first time in nearly three decades that Kuwaitis feel there is a ruler and leadership who listens to them, feels their pain, and works on treating them wisely without haste. They follow every action being taken.

Transparency is required even if there are criticisms being published here and there without any attempts to restrict people or prevent them from expressing their opinion. This comes especially after the end of maliciousness that was practiced by opponents of freedom of speech in order to silence mouths, and showcase Kuwait as a one faded color, something that rendered prison full of opinion-holders.

Yes, today the deep state has begun to disappear, but this does not mean it is gone forever, as it is like a snake that will continue to seek destruction if its head is not cut off.

Although there is a fine line between constructive criticism and defamation, this does not mean retrogression. Instead, adopt the principle of resolving issues through a variety of opinions, and together, the correct opinion tends to emerge.
