Kuwait's Acting Prime Minister: We Must Preserve National Unity

KUWAIT CITY, September 16, 2010 - Acting Premier and Defense Minister Sheikh Jaber Mubarak Al-Hamad
Al-Sabah said those in Kuwait who are making statements against national
unity should cease such behavior.

Speaking to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) earlier this week, Sheikh Jaber
expressed concern with those who are deliberating trying to stir negative
emotions in Kuwait.

"What is currently going on is not of the country's interest and would
not lead to 'objectively' solve issues being discussed in media," the Acting
Prime Minister said. "All must be wise, insightful and responsible for
maintaining Kuwait's national unity and work hard in order to thwart any
attempt to break it."

Sheikh Jaber said national unity is vital for Kuwait to be strong. The
nation is on the cusp of implementing a massive Development Plan, which will
add roads, bridges, airports, hospitals and assorted infrastructure
improvements. The Development Plan is expected to elevate the stature of
Kuwait in the Gulf and beyond.

The Acting Prime Minister said the media must not publicize and promote
the attempts of those who make statements that harm Kuwait. "The Government
will not falter in taking strenuous procedures against those attempting to
fiddle with our national unity," Sheikh Jaber said.
