NEWS about the dishonesty of many of our executive and legislative officials fill our eyes and ears every day through social media, newspapers and gossip. This includes government officials from the highest to the lowest level, and MPs and their assistants.

We went to the same school – Sabah Primary School – which is located on Ahmed Al-Jaber Street (formerly known as Dasman), as he used to live in Dasman Palace. Half of the Sheikhs’ children and those living under their care studied in Sabah Primary School because of its proximity to Dasman Palace, and the other half studied in the Eastern School in Al-Mutaba neighborhood.
