Do we have faith in Courts ?

3 Comments

So a Citizen and runner up for Election has file a complaint at the constitutional court demanding that Two of the Female candidates win be annulled

[AlQabas][Arabic]
[Aljraeeda][Arabic]

This isn’t the First time some file a complaint at the constitutional court because of Woman and the murky law , back in 2008 another Citizen filed a similar case and it was dismissed

BUT before you sound the trumpets of happiness and joy , you need to read why it was dismissed 2008
[Aljareeda][Arabic]

It was refused because it covered all districts which the current one seem to cover all its bases

now we have to wait and see what happen , would the court uphold the law ? or strike it down ?
and if it strike it down wouldn’t mean we need to dissolve the parliament ?

* Why Am I following a problem at work more than my manager? When not solving the problem is good for me and bad for the manager if the other individuals who are involved in it go to Court…

* I hate it when I say something as a joke and it turn out to be true , I told a colleague that he is going to be investigated , we were all like ha-ha very funny , 20 minute later , he was …

* Why does everything have to be crammed into one day? 4 days of the week I have nothing at night but all recent event invitation is on the other 3 days…

* Why does work & assignment come either 20 minutes before the end of work day or before you leave your office

* Election over, I would have posted & followed it more but I was busy with my Personal life

* Is logic Importable? Can we Inject logic into people? Why I’m surrounded by illogicality everywhere

* There should be Anti-fad law in Kuwait , even election became a fad …

So i was at a Friend wedding , and one of the guys there is a old blogger , and another asked him why hasn’t he posted much lately , and he told him he was on Twitter

Then we had a talk , If blog in Arabic is مدونة

I gave the suggestion it should be Zarzoring زرزورين
from the Kuwait Bird Zarzoor ( the bird english name is Starling )

Alwatan at it again

Alwatan Daily as always , report things that are un-logical

Alwatan[Arabic]

تحصين الجداول الانتخابية، احكمت امره إدارة الانتخابات في وزارة الداخلية، ومن ضمن ذلك «اغلاق الباب امام مزدوجي الجنسية من التصويت في دائرتين مختلفتين، مثلما كان يحدث في الدوائر الـ 25 قبل الغزو، وبعده بسنوات قليلة».

واكد مسؤول طلب عدم نشر اسمه لـ «الوطن» ان «مزدوج الجنسية لن يستطيع الادلاء بصوته مرتين، حتى لو اختلف اسمه في الاثبات الكويتي عن هويته في الدولة الخليجية الاخرى، وهذا بفضل رصد الارقام الموحدة وارقام الجنسية والبطاقة المدنية، ووضع ذلك في برنامج خاص في اجهزة كمبيوتر سرية، اضافة الى كشوف محصنة يمنع التلاعب فيها».

The election department in the Ministry of Interior is done with securing the electorate list , among it closing the gate on people with dual nationality to vote in two separate districts as it happened before the Iraqi Invasion and couple of years after it

An unnamed Source assured Alwatan Daily that ” A dual Nationality would not be able to vote twice even if his name in the Kuwait ID does not match his Gulf ID and that is by tracking the National Number and Nationality identification and Civil ID and putting all that in secret computer programs and secure list that can’t be manipulated

Now you may be asking , that sound fine and dandy , whats my beef with them ?
I’ll tell you what

What use is it ?

WHY WOULD ANY NONE KUWAITI IDENTIFICATION BE ACCEPTED IN A KUWAITI ELECTION IN THE FIRST PLACE ??!??!??!!??

To vote you need to present your Kuwaiti Nationality paper , you Civil ID or Driving license is not accepted , HOW DO YOU USE YOUR GULF ID FOR IT ?!?!?

Oh and that news report is written by 11 people !! and contain at least 14 news item mashed in one news report …..

Election and Blogs ( part one of many )

6 Comments

So the Election is back upon us again ( in less than a year none the less )

And it seem there is more interest this year in blogs than the election before it
two example i saw recently which draw my attention

First off , we have a candidate from Jahra , who even featured the blog in his Ad in the newspaper
and unlike the second example , is very active , but he need to talk more about what he is going to do , connect with his potential voters , not an article dump

The other example is Aseel AlAwadi , she had a blog but since the last election it was collecting dust and just posted a video saying she is going to go into this election also , waste of use of connecting to future and current supporters
