Logically, the academic and MP Hamad Al-Matar, whose name precedes the titles of ‘Professor’ and ‘Doctor’, is assumed to be the representative of the education facility within the legislative institution by virtue of his ‘experience and position as a professor’.
In his tweet a few days ago, he demanded that the government separate the Ministry of Education from the Ministry of Higher Education. As far as anyone knows, the two ministries have been separated for decades, and the only common factor between them was the assignment of one minister to manage them.
Since the state has separated the two ministries, even in a comical manner, or handing them over to two different ministers, and this is what MP Al-Matar demanded, he is now required to explain and show us how this separation will result in reforming public and higher education, and how the separation between the two ministries will be the gate for development as stated in his tweet.

KUWAIT CITY, March 7: The parliamentary Human Resources and Public Funds Protection committees were set to meet on Sunday to discuss various bills and reports. Items in the agenda of the Human Resources Committee include bills on nationalizing jobs in the public sector; such as that of MP Abdulkareem Al-Kandari on obligating ministries, public institutions and independent authorities to replace expatriate workers with Kuwaitis within one year. According to the bill, vacant posts in the abovementioned entities should never be filled with expatriates unless no Kuwaiti applies for the job. In such case, it is possible to hire expatriates, but they should be under temporary contracts which will be renewed annually if necessary. Every entity should regularly submit reports on vacancies without Kuwaiti applicants to the concerned authorities in order to determine the reasons why no citizen applies for the job.

KUWAIT CITY, March 1: The parliamentary Budgets and Final Accounts Committee on Monday discussed the budgets of the National Assembly for fiscals 2018/2019, 2019/2020 and 2020/2021. Rapporteur of the committee MP Badr Al-Dahoum disclosed the Assembly signed a contract with a lawyer’s office for the provision of legal services to Al- Majles TV at KD30,000 per year. He said the committee recommended the termination of the contract, because the Assembly has a Legal Affairs Department which represents it in court and provides legal services.
He added the Assembly signed the contract with a lawyer known for attacking and insulting MPs who do not agree with the policies adopted by Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim on social media. It seems the contract is the price that the lawyer was paid for insulting the MPs.
