00:00 A few days later, the political scene in Kuwait is back to normal, with the launch of a new parliamentary session,
00:07 where the government meets with members of the National Assembly under the dome of the Abdullah Al-Salim Hall.
00:13 Each party has a group of leaders who may meet in one place and oppose in another.
00:20 Are these ideas and priorities that the government has proposed consistent with popular priorities and the outcome of the last two elections? The answer is no.
00:31 The government returns to the parliament with a list of 14 priorities, including the law of public debt, the law of discrepancies,
00:39 the development of the northern region and the increase in wages,
00:43 but there are also suggestions related to tax approval on some harmful goods and taxes on companies.
00:50 What will be the position of the members of the National Assembly on the tax proposal,
00:55 who have already opposed any attempt to impose taxes on citizens?
01:00 How can public debt be imposed on the government's work program, and tax exemption be imposed on the government's work program?
01:11 And impose taxes and say that it improves the lives of citizens?
01:18 The state needs tax returns, yes, but not in the way of public debt, nor in the way of increasing taxes on citizens.
01:29 This is a red line and cannot continue.
01:32 As for the members of the National Assembly and members of the parliamentary committee,
01:35 they will submit proposals and suggestions for laws such as increasing retirement benefits,
01:41 increasing social benefits, and supporting small and medium-sized projects,
01:46 in addition to discussing the alternative strategic law, which still leads to discussions and negotiations between the parties.
01:54 We do not care about the service side and the basic issues related to the livelihood of citizens,
02:00 such as housing, providing suitable housing for developing families, good education,
02:06 good health care, and good services.
02:10 We all agree on this.
02:12 But is it possible for me to achieve these services in the light of political and administrative corruption,
02:19 and the absence of the right person in the right place?
02:22 The next round of negotiations may not be as calm as expected.
02:26 Some of the deputies announced the intention to interview a number of ministers,
02:30 but the most important factor, the deputies say, will be cooperation,
02:34 solving problems, and achieving the submitted files.
