Al-Ghanim said that he had received a word from His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled not to close mosques, especially in light of the worshipers ’commitment to health requirements, and the imams’ keenness to implement them.

Al-Ghanim addressed in a press statement to the National Assembly yesterday, owners of small and medium-sized enterprises and activities affected by some of the closure decisions, saying, “Your message has been communicated, and your voice has reached the highest levels, and God willing, directives have been issued to find appropriate solutions and limit and reduce losses resulting from the implementation of these decisions”.

Al-Ghanim added, “We understand the health precautions and their procedures, but it is not permissible to close activities and leave their owners until they declare their bankruptcy or issue court rulings against them. If the government wants to close activities, it must compensate them or leave them looking for God.”

Ghanim indicated that he met His Highness the Prime Minister, who was positive, cooperative, and understanding. And it works to reconcile the application of health precautions and alleviate the suffering of the owners of small businesses and activities.

And Al-Ghanim said, “The government and everyone should know that if there are violations from some stores, then it should not be generalized to everyone. It is required to intensify the punishment for the offender and not to wrongfully punish the innocent.”

Al-Ghanim said, “What I hope from His Highness the Prime Minister and the brothers in the government who will listen to the suffering of small business leaders today or at most tomorrow is the speed of taking measures that will save them from being bankrupt or of judicial rulings resulting from causes that have nothing to do with them.”

On stopping sports activity, Al-Ghanem said, “It is true that there are some violations that must be stopped, such as the attendance of fans for some matches, but when violations occur, there must be conditions, penalties or procedures against those who violate, and the solution is not to stop sports activity.” Al-Ghanim pointed out that the United Nations, the International Olympic Committee, and all international organizations call for the continuation of the sporting activity, indicating, “When the activity is stopped, where do our children, the players go, they sit in homes and offices, and this is not my words. Rather, the recommendations of the competent international bodies.”

Al-Ghanim reiterated his appreciation and respect for preventive health and the workers in the Ministry of Health and the front lines for their great efforts appreciated and respected.

Al-Ghanim emphasized that the health worker is a very important factor, but it is not everything. There are other economic, financial, social, and family factors that must be taken into account for the decisions to come out the sound, indicating that the logical and sophisticated dialogue and contesting the argument with the argument is the way to reach results that serve the Kuwaiti people and this is what happened Will happen.

At the end of his statement, Al-Ghanim said, “Today or tomorrow, business leaders will meet with ministers, government authorities, and a large group of representatives, and we are not more careful than others who want a solution to this matter. His Highness the Prime Minister is understanding and I am optimistic that he can take steps that will alleviate the suffering of our sisters and brothers. Small and medium businesses and activities are affected by these decisions.
