KUWAIT: The head of the National Assembly's financial and economic affairs committee MP Abdulwahed Al-Awadhi said he will no longer take part in the debate of the economic stimulus bill after a note he wrote to the finance minister turned into a scandal. Al-Qabas newspaper published the note on its front page yesterday, saying it was sent by Awadhi to the finance minister during the committee meeting on Sunday that discussed amendments proposed by the Popular Action Bloc to the stimulus bill.
The note reads: "Cool down. We have worked to destroy the amendments. Behave in a nice way".
Awadhi admitted that he wrote the note and issued an apology, but added that he had "unintentionally misused" the word and that he only intended to create a proper atmosphere for the discussion of the bill. The lawmaker said from now on he will not attend the committee meetings while it discusses the bill in a bid to show that he did not intend anything wrong.
