KUWAIT: MP Abdulrahman Al-Jeeran said security challenges require speedy implementation of the law to remedy the demographical structure imbalance. Jeeran said that expat domestic helpers are the top group that commit crimes and violates the law, based on the answers provided by Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sheikh Mohammad Al-Khaled Al-SAbah to his question on the highest percentage of crimes committed in Kuwait and the nationalities of the criminals. "I draw attention to the importance of the population imbalance deal, and taking security measures in this regard, including increasing the number of well-trained policemen, increasing prison capacity, signing extradition treaties, especially with countries that have a high percentage of workers in Kuwait, and increasing inspection campaigns, especially in areas with high expat labor density," he said.

Offensive remarks

MP Ali Al-Khamis has threatened to grill Education Minister Bader Al-Essa, saying if the minister accepts to have a university professor who insults Muslims and the Prophet Mohammad's (PBUH) companions among the teaching faculty, "then we will not accept the minister to remain in his post." Meanwhile, MP Ahmad Al-Azmi said the ministers should take quick decision to terminate the university professor to set an example.

MP Humoud Al-Hamdan said in the meantime that the minister should withdraw university scholarships from those who cause strife and insult companions of the Prophet (PBUH). Hamdan asked Interior Minister Sheikh Mohammad Al-Khaled Al-Sabah to implement the national unity law on strife instigators during a time in which Kuwait needs unity.

Board members resign

Two members of the Kuwait Union of Consumer Cooperative Societies' (KUCCS) board of directors resigned because of the union's alleged 'inability to perform and the lack of a future plan,' as mentioned in the resignations. Members Rashid Faris Rubei and Mahmoud Humoud A-Jabry submitted their resignations to the Social Affairs Ministry.
