HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah AlAhmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah ordered the payment of debts of imprisoned citizens and expatriates, the Amiri Diwan said in a statement yesterday.

The Amir’s generous step came in celebration of Kuwait’s 57th National Day and 27th Liberation Day anniversaries, the statement added.

National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanem praised the Amir’s initiative. HH the Amir’s desire to pay debts of these prisoners from his personal funds and enable them to reunite with their families during the national days is the latest in his record of such good and humanitarian initiatives, the speaker said in a statement.

HH the Amir’s humanitarian act presents anew an example of how the ruler is aware of citizens’ and residents’ hardships and preoccupations. Moreover, he has represented Kuwait as a humanitarian center and a home of social and humanitarian solidarity by relieving the underprivileged. Echoing identical thoughts, Deputy Speaker Essa Al-Kandari said the latest initiative was registered in his record of humanitarian deeds, wishing the Amir lasting wellbeing.
