Subaih's grilling
Responding to an inquiry filed by MP Mohammed Al-Huwailah concerning disabled citizens, Minister of Social Affairs and Labor and Minister of State for Planning and Development Hind Al-Subaih said the delay in building the new disabled authority's headquarters was due to some Municipal Council's procedures and adjusting the project's blueprints to increase the total area. Meanwhile, MP Majed Moussa announced supporting his colleague Mohammed Tana Al-Enezi's grilling motion against Subaih, noting that the latter had allowed the spread of rumors and defamed some MPs in a recent interview with Al-Majles TV channel. "Undocumented accusations are unacceptable when made by a senior official," he underlined urging the minister to name visa traffickers and prove that some MPs were involved as she claimed.
