The Environment Committee of the National Assembly will continue to discuss the issue of dead fish during its meeting Monday and also the committee’s mandate to follow up the issue of protecting public parks, developing them and looking into violations that occur from time to time.

The meeting will be attended by officials from the Environment Public Authority and the Public Authority for Agriculture Affairs and Fish Resources.

In another development, MP Khalid Al-Shatti said he supports putting at rest the issue of multi-million dollar deposits, considering it has shaken the Kuwaiti society and a lot has been talked about it. He added that he will support anyone who raises this issue again or resubmits it to the Public Prosecution.

He added, however this will mean violation of the Constitution which disallows application of the penal code retrospectively. He stressed on the need to take this into consideration to avoid violating the Constitution. He added, any decision taken must be within the framework of the Constitution and the law.
