Trouble Makers And 'Protests'   

Kuwait Times - 04 July, 2012
Author: Abdullah Abbas Bowair

So many citizens are currently thinking: What do some MPs want? There isn't a single official resignation from any of them and, yet, those who claimed they would resign from the 2009 parliament changed their minds before the judge during a hearing to prosecute the intruders who stormed the parliament and insisted that they were still MPs so they could receive their parliamentary immunity.

Once in a while, most of them threaten to go to the determination yard, which only resulted in more bad words and insults with only one goal, to create a new crisis.

This group apparently got used to insulting public figures and celebrities. They even began interfering with HH the Amir’s authority, claiming that dissolving the parliament for the fifth time in six years had exhausted the Kuwaiti people. Hence, they demand more restrictions on parliament being dissolved, while ignoring that such a right is the constitutional responsibility of HH the Amir, according to the constitution they claim to respect. The problem is that they are demanding an elected government; one that is not chosen, according to the constitution, by HH the Amir. They even went so far as to demand a constitutional Emirate, which means that the Amir’s position becomes a symbolic and honorary one.

Dear readers, they were the ones who demanded dissolving the 2003 and the 2009 parliaments by abusing their constitutional tools of legislation, interpellations and immunity, which also led to dissolving the 2006 and 2008 parliaments. They have not only participated in delaying legislation, but they also contributed to issuing immature proposals that caused the country numerous problems in all sectors. The current political crisis is not new, but some parties found the recent court ruling a golden opportunity to strike at the judiciary by trying to tell the Kuwaiti people that it was the constitutional court and the Kuwaiti judiciary that created the current political crisis. Judiciaries are the saviors and protectors of people’ rights everywhere.

A recent seminar that was organized at the determination yard under the title ‘We Will Never Give In’ and included very indecent and cruel words against specific people, such as Sheikh Mesh’al Al-Ahmed, which included the message ‘Leave’. To such people, we say ‘ENOUGH’, we are fed up with giving advice to a power that does not respect us. This rude group ignored my advice when I said ‘Respect Us, We respect You’. One of the protestors even warned the authorities, saying ‘Don’t Test Our Patience!’, “We are Free and Will Never be Enslaved to anybody’ and ‘We Will Never Give Up the Public Amendments’. To all the nuts in Kuwait, I warn them that Kuwait has sharp talons.

One of the protestors addressed HH The Amir saying: “Oh, your highness, only faithful Kuwaitis will do you good, not the prison warden and his friends……..I tell the descendants of Mubarak that if they manipulate the people’s rights, we will manipulate yours”. Another one said that the Kuwaiti people will stand firmly against bringing back the bribed MPs and that it will never allow the return of corrupt governments. “No for Hatem’s return”, they stressed.

Dear MPs, we got used to your style and barbarism in criticizing others. What’s been said about Sheikh Mesh’al Al-Ahmed was without proof, yet it was just typical of you to defame the ruling family members. Our great ancestors have chosen Al-Sabahs ever since Kuwait was founded. All problems used to be solved by discussions and consultations between the ruler and his subjects. Kuwait will always remain a haven of security and stability under the wise leadership of HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmed and his faithful Crown Prince, HH Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah. – Al-Rai
