Grilling delay, loans top agenda as political work resumes


KUWAIT: Kuwait’s executive and legislative authorities start the new week with a busy schedule which includes attempts to contain escalations with regards to grilling motions as well as calls to the governments to write-off the interests accrued on Kuwaitis’ loans in local banks. The Cabinet has ‘angered’ the lawmakers backing a grilling motion against Communications Minister Salem Al-Othaina and Minister of Interior Sheikh Ahmad Al- Hmoud Al-Sabah when the parliament gave its nod to its request to postpone the debate to the next parliamentary term.

In a bid to avoid further tensions, parliamentary insiders told Al-Qabas newspaper that the cabinet could request that the debate on a grilling motion filed against Oil Minister Hani Husain and Finance Minister Mustafa Al-Shamali be also delayed and postponed instead to the end of the current term.
