MP Dr Hassan Jowhar asked HH the Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Mohammad Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah to exclude Education and Higher Education Minister Nuriya Al-Subaih from the next government due to her failure to correct the violations uncovered in the Ministry, which include interfering in the Faculty Assembly elections at Kuwait University (KU).
Jowhar said Al-Subaih was not effective in the previous government and her reappointment will only strain relations between the legislative and executive authorities. He claims there are documents proving Al-Subaih’s inefficiency and irregularities in both ministries in addition to a grilling request forwarded against her, which prompted the previous Parliament to call for a vote of no confidence on her.
He said the minister also defied the Cabinet’s directive on the suspension of transfer, appointment and promotion of employees during the elections period when she formed committees and appointed a number of officials while the ban is still in effect. He believes Al-Subaih is not qualified for the post.
Criticizing Al-Subaih’s interference in the KU Faculty Assembly elections, Jowhar accused the minister of launching a campaign against one of the groups running for elections. He said the group is known for questioning the performance of the KU administration. He also claimed he has evidence showing that Al-Subaih promised to appoint some assembly members to top positions at the university.
Urging the Prime Minister to separate the two ministries, Jowhar said this is a vital step towards the development of the educational sector in Kuwait. He also pointed out Al-Subaih issued a decision on the implementation of the unified educational system in the 10th standard only to change her mind later, calling for the abolition of the system in the next academic year.
Jowhar asked the premier to seriously consider the condition of the educational sector, warning the Parliament will closely monitor developments in this sector.
In other issues, Jowhar denied rumors on his withdrawal from the deputy speaker race, adding that, he intends to use this post to improve the performance of the MPs. He said the deputy speaker should have the ability to make firm decisions and efficiently preside over parliamentary sessions.
On the formation of a new parliamentary bloc, Jowhar said the bloc will play an important role in improving the performance of the MPs and serving the interests of the nation.
