We have read, and still continue to read the old saying that ‘Marzouq fell on the ground’, and it was said by some to confuse a person named Marzouq, and their expectation that he would fall on the ground inevitably, and often Marzouq fell, when someone repeated this saying in front of him.
This is a story of heritage, but currently, the expectations of those who wanted Marzouq Al-Ghanim, the Speaker of the National Assembly to fall, have seen how their hopes vanished in thin air when Marzouq boldly faced the extremists and their accusations and obscenites to serve the homeland.

Kuwait City: On Sunday, Kuwait’s Constitutional Court issued a ruling that annuls membership of prominent opposition figure MP Bader Al Dahoum based on a previous case where he was charged with “insulting the Emir”.
The court revoked Al Dahoum’s membership as per a 2016 law that states anyone convicted of insulting the Emir will be barred from partaking in the parliamentary elections.
Back in 2014, Al Dahoum, along with two former MPs, were sentenced to three years in jail for speaking in a manner that was deemed offensive towards the late Emir, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmed Al Sabah.
Three citizens brought three separate cases against Al Dahoum ahead of the 2020 parliamentary elections stating that he is unfit to run due to his prior conviction.
Kuwait City: Less than a week after Kuwait’s 38th Cabinet of Ministers was formed, two MPs, Bader Al Dahoum and Mohammed Al Mutair, filed a motion to interrogate the Prime Minister, Sabah Al Khaled Al Sabah, for “selective implementation of the law” the motion stated.
The announcement came after 15 MPs, including Al Dahoum and Al Mutair, were referred by the government to the public prosecutor for violating health measures and holding a large gathering of approximately 300 people.
Over a dozen MPs have voiced their support for the motion to interrogate the Prime Minister.
Although a new government is formed, the motion will be discussed only after March 18 as the parliament is currently on pause after the Emir, Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmed Al Sabah, issued a decree on February 18 to suspend parliament for one month.
