Virtues of Saddam & advantages of ‘Brothers’
Many factors contributed to liberating our homeland from Saddam’s oppression, which lasted for seven lean months, and perhaps the most important of which was the dictator’s stupidity and arrogance.
The other thing that saved us and many countries from the rule of the Brotherhood is the humility of their understanding, rather than their stupidity.
Their organization possessed the religious argument to control the minds of large sectors of several Arab nations, often ignorant, but fortunately enough, they did not possess enough argument and logic to run the state, and therefore they failed to control matters always, despite their military and political experience that exceeded ninety years of conspiratorial work, and the reason is their naïvety, and their leaders’ indulgence in achieving personal wealth.
This was revealed by a Brotherhood member, former MP and minister Ahmad AlMulaifi in an interview with a television channel.
One of the reasons is also the insistence of the “party bureau” to push the least qualified personalities to represent it and speak on its behalf.
During the last October 25 session, a deputy representing the Brotherhood made a strange proposal where he demanded to encourage Kuwaiti employees to join the private sector, regardless of their commitment to work, and called his idea “thinking outside the box” and explained it in a superficial way.
He mentioned that the number of Kuwaiti government employees is 449,000, and the average salary for each of them is 1,500 dinars, and the salary item consumes approximately 80% of the state budget.
As for the average amount of support provided by the government to a Kuwaiti who works in the private sector, it amounts to 750 dinars, and therefore, according to the thinking of the deputy, the state will save billions if it succeeds in encouraging government employees to join the private sector, even if they do not do any work.
The MP forgot that these employees are entitled to monthly salaries from the parties they will continue with, and this is not paid by a foreign country but by national companies, and paying them for doing nothing, means charging the price of services and goods provided by these companies with the salaries they pay, so where is “thinking outside the box” in such a poor proposal which will turn the Kuwaiti people into idle class who have no work other than sitting in the cafés inside the malls, but building the homeland is left to future generations.
The MP, who represents the Muslim Brotherhood party in the National Assembly, also demanded an increase in the remuneration of housewives to encourage them to resign from government work and devote themselves to raising children and perhaps vote for them in the next elections.
I’ll leave it for you to comment on this situation.
