Mp Probes Iraq Payout

MP Hamdan Al-Azmi has forwarded queries to Minister of Finance and Minister of State for Economic and Investment Affairs Khalifa Hamada about the announcement made by the Central Bank of Iraq on Dec 22, 2021, that Iraq already paid the final batch of compensation amounting to $44 million for damages suffered by Kuwait due to the Iraqi invasion. He requested for a detailed list of compensation paid to Kuwait as per the decision of the Compensation Committee at the United Nations — a total of $52.4 billion. He wants to know how the money has been spent so far, if Kuwait has granted loans to Iraq in the past 20 years, total amount of loans if the response is in the affirmative, and if Kuwait waived part of the compensation.

National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim has reacted to the call of some MPs for his dismissal and that of His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al-Khalid. Al-Ghanim argued such a call has noting to do with the Constitution, adding that he assumed the Speakership through voting at the Assembly. He also said that Sheikh Sabah Al-Khalid was appointed by Highness the Amir Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al- Sabah. MP Osama Al-Shaheen asked Minister of Commerce and Industry Abdullah Essa Al-Salman about the rationale behind the appointment of graduates from the Department of Information Technology and Management of Health Information at the College of Allied Health Sciences in Kuwait University as administrators even if they are specialized in the technical field.
