International Olympic Committee And Football Governing Body Was Suspended

World sports bodies led by the International Olympic Committee and football’s governing body FIFA suspended Kuwait in October 2015 for the second time since 2010 over alleged government meddling in sports. Kuwait’s public sports authority had on Dec 23 written to the IOC and FIFA urging them to “lift the ban on Kuwaiti sports activities temporarily until relevant local laws are revised”.

The IOC rejected Kuwait’s request. In another development, MP Waleed Al-Tabtabaei has forwarded questions to Finance Minister Anas Saleh on the delayed implementation of the metro and railway projects. He pointed out these projects are important as they will greatly contribute to ongoing efforts to address traffic problems, while it is considered a competitor of other development projects in the Gulf. He disclosed that he decided to submit questions to the minister due to the decision of the Council of Ministers to present these projects again to the Public Authority for Public and Private Sectors Partnership Projects. He requested for a copy of the feasibility studies on these projects, in addition to other information such as the companies which expressed interest in both projects, date of bidding, period of implementation and target date of completion
