Reacting to the burning down of a candidate's election campaign headquarters last night, in the suburb of Udailiya, Deputy Minister for Amiri Diwan Affairs Sheikh Ali Jarrah Al-Sabah issued a statement on Tuesday addressing that event.
While the Amiri Diwan kept close tabs on last night's unsettling incident, the statement said, which ran counter to the acceptable norms of the Kuwaiti society, it realized that its occurrence came at an untoward time when the nation as a whole was anticipating in a few days to head for the polls to elect members of the next parliament.
People before last night's unfortunate incident were looking for a brief respite to contemplate hopes for an election that would embody a harmonious intertwining between the executive and legislative branches, and would strive to fulfill the aspirations of the nation to enjoy a tranquil period of political placidity and unprecedented amity among all strata of the Kuwaiti society, noted the statement.
Instead, indicated the statement, people were nonplussed by last night's disconcerting incident, prompting the Amiri Diwan to appeal to the public to steer clear of what might disrupt the course of the elections, by remaining true to the iron-clad bonds that all groups and tribes and sects in Kuwait share.
The statement underscored firmly that the authorities have instructed the proper legal organs to bring to account any wrong-doer who took part in last night's burning down of the campaign rally headquarters.
