Confused positions, opinions
MP Muhammad Al-Rajhi, before he became Minister of National Assembly Affairs yesterday, tweeted the following: “A government that does not respect the Constitution and the right of parliamentarians in oversight and accountability does not deserve to cooperate with it. I declare my support for the interrogation submitted by brother Shuaib Al-Muwaizri against His Highness the Prime Minister.”
The new Minister of Information and Culture MP Hamad Ahmad Rouh El-Din, also tweeted the following: “A well-deserved interrogation and it has my full support. Sabah Al-Khaled (Prime Minister) must face his political destiny, and he must rise to the podium out of respect for the provisions of the Constitution and out of respect for his four “Nos”. And I say to him: This is the end of those who ally themselves with those who were rejected by the people.”
MP Mubarak Al-Aro, Minister of Social Affairs and Housing, tweeted: “In order to perform my duties with honesty and sincerity, and from honesty in carrying out the message, and from being honest in taking the position, I declare my support for the interpellation submitted to the Prime Minister.”
Finally, the new Minister of Finance, Abd al-Wahab Muhammad al-Rasheed, tweeted, about a year ago, as follows: “The government that contributed in just one week to decisions and laws that cost public money one billion dinars at a time when it was complaining about the lack of liquidity without presenting a real sustainable economic reform plan is an irrational government, and does not deserve to continue.”
I do not know about politics, and there is no doubt that these gentlemen have their reasons for what they said, and their reasons for overturning their previous positions and opinions.
If I were in the place of any of them, I would be ashamed and bewildered as to how I should act when I meet those I condemned yesterday after I accepted, freely of my will and the fullness of my choice to be today the guardians to be their subordinate.
Nevertheless, we will put the positions and opinions of these people behind us and wait for something exciting from the new ministers and from the Deputy Al-Wasmi.
Perhaps their previous confusing positions and opinions, which are different from their current positions, will push them to make a great effort to achieve what was not possible in the past.
The current finance minister accused the previous government of inability to present an integrated economic plan. Does he have one now?
All we have to do is to wait and see.
