Maliya underpass scrapped over 'immorality' fears

KUWAIT: MP Mohammad Tana Al-Enezi announced intentions to file a new grilling motion against Minister of Social Affairs and labor, Minister of Planning and Development Hind Al-Subaih, inquiring about an interview she gave to Al-Majlis TV channel. Enezi added that his grilling motion would also focus on visa traffickers and demands to name and expose them before the entire Kuwaiti society.

He also said he demanded that the minister reveals the name of a lawmaker she claimed had asked her to approve a residency transaction. "The minister will take the podium soon and I dare her to expose the names of visa traffickers," he underscored.

Last October, the parliament debated a grilling motion that Enezi filed against Subain on alleged violations in four sectors under the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor - the public authority for the disabled, the public manpower authority, the cooperative societies sector and the social care homes sector. On a different concern, Enezi told reporters that the parliament's foreign affairs committee had approved a bill on passing the amended agreement on Arab cooperation in relief aid operations. He added that the committee also approved a bill allowing Kuwait to join the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT).
