KUWAIT: The Constitutional Court's decision a few days ago annulling the anti-corruption law because it was unconstitutional caused chaos in most ministries and government establishments that were issued similar "urgent decrees." On that regard, the commerce ministry has reportedly sought to pass the companies' law no. 25/2012 during the same time the annulled anti-corruption law was approved.

Sources said that the commerce ministry is taking quick steps to reintroduce the companies' law for approval a second time by the Assembly in order to avoid the fate of the anti-corruption law, and formed a team for this purpose to review the law's items. Sources said the ministry wants to finalize the law during the next two days to be ready to introduce it to the Assembly. They added the law has major changes on nearly 10 items. - Al-Qabas
