2nd District Abdulla Al-Yahya's Campaign Inauguration

A few nights ago I attended the campaign inauguration of a friend and former colleague of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 2nd District candidate Abdullah Al-Yahya, whom I've always known to be a candid and fervent defender of the Kuwaiti democratic institution.

Al-Yahya spoke passionately about the deteriorating health sector, which is the backbone of his campaign, lambasting the government, laying complete responsibility at its doorstep for its "feeble, indecisive leadership" leading to the neglect of its health, education and infrastructure commitments to Kuwait.

Al-Yahya's speech was resolute, full of fervor; it was obvious to the crowd that he was a sincere candidate angry about our current predicament and concerned about Kuwait and its future.

An excerpt from the Kuwait Times newspaper:

"...The country needs the guidance of a stronger prime minister ...who will be able to choose ministers capable of taking responsibility. For the past two years, we've heard that at least nine new health centers will be built. Till today we haven't seen any. The last public hospital was built in 1981, whereas the last private hospital opened a few months ago. Does this prove that the private sector is better than the government? How can the government only build a VIP hospital? The health care sector is deteriorating," Al-Yahaya pointed out."
