Mp Mohammad Hayef Has Waded Into Controversy Over Islamisation Amendment

MP Mohammad Hayef has waded into controversy after he called for amending an article in the constitution to make sure all acts promulgated by the parliament are fully consistent with Sharia.
“The Islamic laws must always have the upper hand, and we request the parliament and the government to agree on amending Article 79 of the constitution,”
Hayef said. “As we are all Muslims, I do not expect any lawmaker to reject the amendment or to miss the honour of endorsing it.”
Article 79 stipulates that “no law may be promulgated unless it has been passed by the National Assembly [Parliament] and sanctioned by the Emir”.

However, Justice Minister Faleh Al Azeb said that amending the constitution required public support and the approval of the Emir.
“Amending the constitution is not an easy or simple matter and needs several approvals,” he said. “We respect personal views and requests, but introducing amendments to the constitution is not a slight issue and requires profound measures.” MP Rakan Al Nisf said that he totally rejected the “Islamisation” of laws and legislation in Kuwait, insisting that all legal texts in #Kuwait must be adapted to the entire population in the country with their various religions and sects.
