Al-ghanim Reschedules The Special Session On Coronavirus

National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim has rescheduled the special session on coronavirus to March 2, instead of March 1, due to the prior commitments of some ministers. Al-Ghanim had earlier called for this session to discuss the measures taken by the government regarding coronavirus.

He said the session aims to respond to citizens’ questions, dispel rumors and reveal facts. Meanwhile, MP Abdulkareem Al-Kandari has stressed the importance of enhancing media activities; including media campaigns being conducted by the Ministry of Information to raise public awareness on coronavirus.

MP Muhammad Barrak Al-Mutairi urged the National Assembly Office to arrange medical checkup for everybody – including MPs and employees of the Assembly’s Secretariat General – who will attend the upcoming session in order to make sure no one is infected with coronavirus, considering some of those who came from Iran allegedly interacted with others upon arrival to Kuwait.

MP Abdullah Fehad considers Iran’s decision to prevent the entry of the medical crew on the aircraft allotted for Kuwaitis who will return home from Mashhad Airport an aggressive action against neighboring countries, especially after it concealed the actual number of Iranians infected with coronavirus. He added the GCC countries must take a firm decision regarding Iran’s attitude.

In another development, sources disclosed the Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) received complaints about the names of voters recorded under the addresses of some citizens as the latter do not know these persons.

Sources affirmed PACI looked into these complaints which were proven to be groundless, stressing that procedures are strictly followed in registering voters under one address to prevent errors.

Sources said voters residing in houses for rent should personally appear at PACI to present the rent contract along with the landlord who will confirm that the information presented by the tenant is correct.

Sources pointed out that the automated system does not approve the registration if the number of families registered under the same address exceeds four.

Another source from the Elections Affairs Directorate said the voters list has been verified, affirming the removal of citizens who died and inclusion of those who reached 20 years old
