KUWAIT, Nov 14 (KUNA) -- The National Assembly (Kuwait's parliament) on Wednesday gave the thumbs up to a proposal to set up a three-member committee to look into the aftershock of lingering rainy weather conditions in Kuwait.
The parliamentary committee is expected to submit a relevant report to the legislature within a couple of months' time.
Addressing a parliamentary session held especially to consider the reflections of ongoing weather conditions, Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sheikh Khaled Al-Jarrah Al-Sabah hoped that an impartial, specialized and non-parliamentary panel would be formed for the purpose.
"Should you really seek to arrive at a result, an unbiased, specialized and non-parliamentary committee ought to be set up," he opined.
The minister cited a similar judicial probe committee set up by the government to look into the rain ramifications, urging the parliament to follow suit.
National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim then adjourned the sitting, but MPs are expected to come together once more on November 24 to address the latest developments. (Pick up previous)
