01:53 from the candidates for president
01:56 I don't think today in Oma pencils
02:01 that the election law was not part of the campaign
02:05 So it's our duty
02:09 therefore we have the authority to discuss & vote on the latest legislation
02:16 with Alhamdulillah
02:17 It is very impossible and unacceptable
02:21 to find a parliamentary consensus in the parliament
02:26 The committee agreed to discuss the first report
02:29 which is related to the constitution
02:31 for several reasons
02:32 because it is the most presented by the cabinet
02:34 and the most interacted by the society
02:37 especially the civil society and youth associations
02:40 and it is the idea that was proposed in the past years
02:45 all of us with the voting
02:48 but the point is not only to vote and follow a traditional system
02:52 The focus of the committee was mainly on the philosophy of the project
02:55 and the spirit of the project
02:57 If we wanted to stick to something
02:59 we would stick to the laws that we presented ourselves
03:01 The law of relative consistency that we mostly presented in this hall
03:05 as a proposal from the previous two years
03:07 from the 20th council, the previous council and the current council
03:10 but we were keen in discussing this committee
03:13 to mature these ideas
03:14 to reach the mature final form that guarantees the philosophy of the project
03:19 The proposal that the committee is supposed to discuss
03:22 in the 19th session of the next month
03:25 combines two mechanisms
03:27 the mechanism of individual election
03:29 which is applied now
03:31 and the mechanism of relative consistency
03:33 and the nomination can be done according to the two mechanisms
03:35 and according to the proposal
03:37 each circle will be presented with 10 members
03:40 some of them will be nominated in a list that does not exceed 6
03:43 and does not less than 4
03:45 and the rest will be nominated by the individual deputies
03:48 and each candidate will have one vote for the list
03:51 and another vote for the individual nominee
03:54 The nomination of the membership of the National Assembly in each electoral circle
03:57 will be done according to the rules and the individual nomination system
04:00 and it is not allowed to increase the number of nominees in any list in the elections
04:04 to 6 nominees and not less than 4
04:07 and it is not allowed to form it on a group or sectarian basis
04:10 In a parallel step, referring to what may be the face of the legislative committee's proposal
04:16 within the National Assembly
04:18 another group of deputies announced
04:20 their progress with two new proposals
04:23 to modify the electoral system and distribute seats
04:26 As long as we have the opportunity today to change the electoral system
04:31 it is our duty to correct all the mistakes and the demands in the current system
04:38 The legislative committee's proposal before entering the assembly of Abdullah Al-Salim
04:43 faced a parallel proposal and different ideas
04:46 which refers to the sharing of opinions and positions
04:49 about a system of elections that has been going on for 60 years
04:53 and the injustice between the circles and the candidates is criticized for not being achieved
04:58 and there are voices that say that the consensus solutions of the candidates
05:03 may not be decisive in the change and may not achieve the justice required
05:08 One of the important issues that the National Assembly is currently proposing
05:16 is the modification of the law of the deficiencies and the cancellation of the local representative
05:20 where the current law states that every foreign company that operates in Kuwait
05:24 must operate through a local representative
05:27 and the cancellation of the local representative requires many modifications of the legislation in Kuwait
05:32 the first of which is the law of residence
05:35 Who attracts foreign investments and foreign companies
05:39 is improving the working environment which unfortunately is very bad in Kuwait
05:45 I do not expect, I do not expect honestly
05:47 and this is a message to people so that they do not be optimistic
05:50 that they will benefit directly from this law
05:53 because foreign companies will not come to Kuwait
05:56 because the local companies in the market today are leaving Kuwait
05:59 and going to neighboring countries
06:01 so what about foreign companies?
06:03 The foreign investor is fighting on the first day of his arrival in Kuwait
06:09 from the airport, he is subjected to slavery practices in dealing with foreigners
06:14 he wants to bring his wife with him, they tell him that it is forbidden to have a family
06:17 he wants to bring his children with him, they tell him that it is forbidden to be able to enter anyone
06:20 he wants to bring a team with him
06:22 and the laws of residence that exist prevent foreigners from entering Kuwait
06:28 this is not until now, and he did not leave the airport
06:30 if he went and brought his goods in the customs
06:33 the customs clearance in the Gulf countries takes half an hour
06:37 in Kuwait it is two weeks
06:39 and the corruption of the customs in which he is talking about is long
06:42 when he finishes his goods and takes them out of the customs
06:46 he wants to go and store his goods
06:48 he will not have enough places to store
06:50 and the state is not providing enough places to store
06:53 and he pays double the prices for storing because of absence
06:57 and not opening the door to the private sector to develop
07:01 and if he went to sell to cooperative associations
07:04 he will not be able to get the money
07:06 the cooperative associations are not paying the companies
07:10 neither the local nor the foreign
07:13 even in the general discounts
07:15 since 2016, the door has been opened to the foreign investor
07:18 and to other local agents to negotiate
07:21 and one of the stories that happened to me
07:24 is that one of the companies after the UN council in 2016
07:27 in the law of discounts and the permission to negotiate directly with the state
07:32 this foreign company left and canceled its contract with the local agent
07:35 and said I will negotiate directly with the state
07:38 after six months, this foreign company returned to the local agent
07:44 and said I deal with this government is impossible
07:47 and said come and take 5% from me
07:49 and he took 15% from me
07:51 but he said I am not in this deal
07:53 We are still in the UN council
07:59 where it is expected that during the next session
08:02 they will look for a law to raise salaries in the state
08:05 and it is a popular demand despite the rise in prices
08:08 and the proportion of inflation in Kuwait reached 3.7% last October
08:13 on an annual basis
08:15 the rise in prices gradually
08:18 requires an increase in salaries
08:22 so I support the increase in salaries
08:25 Prices are rising, after Corona
08:28 everything is rising, even the consumables
08:32 everything is rising
08:36 the global inflation is happening
08:39 after Corona
08:42 the situation has changed
08:45 so we need an increase
08:48 if the prices of products and goods are fixed
08:52 then the salaries will increase
08:56 if the salaries are increased, the goods will double
09:00 and all the products will increase
09:02 First, the salaries of many people are low
09:08 less than what is expected
09:12 and the global inflation is also required
09:15 because the goods are increasing
09:18 I am not saying this directly to the merchants
09:22 but what they hear is that there is an increase in salaries
09:26 and the prices of goods are increasing
09:29 and salaries are increasing
09:31 it is not changing
09:33 The decision is wrong
09:35 the situation is the same
09:37 the prices are increasing every day
09:40 No, it is not possible
09:42 some people have apartments
09:46 and some people have apartments
09:49 and buildings
09:51 No, it is not enough
09:53 there must be an increase
09:59 The Eid Al-Aghziya company announced the completion of the acquisition deal
10:04 with the central market market company
10:06 and announced the end of the general writing procedures
10:09 to increase the company's capital to 30 million dinars
10:14 In today's meeting, we announced that the company's capital was increased
10:19 from 18 million dinars to 30 million dinars
10:23 with the issuance of 117 million shares
10:29 at a price of 575 dinars
10:32 The purpose of this increase is to acquire the company
10:37 which was announced to acquire the company of the market of the nobles
10:40 which is specialized in the restaurant sector
10:43 Today, after the acquisition
10:45 The Eid Al-Aghziya company was specialized in the distribution sector
10:49 and after the acquisition, we will enter the complete sector
10:52 the food sector in Kuwait
10:54 which is the food sector and restaurants
10:57 The company is a pioneer in this field
11:01 With the acquisition, we can say that the company will be realized
11:05 and this is the goal we are always looking for
11:07 growth in operating will and profits
11:10 so that there will be consistent profits for the contributors
11:14 In terms of the Goal 25 strategy
11:19 How much of this strategy has been achieved and how much is left?
11:23 Are you in line with other strategies?
11:27 Thank you, Osama, for your question
11:30 Because indeed, after the acquisition
11:34 we have one of the goals, which is to accelerate the achievement
11:37 The goal was to achieve 25 million interest on the sales
11:43 which we were achieving in 2022
11:45 The goal is to reach 47 million dinars
11:49 Today, after the acquisition, we will exceed this number
11:52 In terms of the will, we have achieved it
11:55 In terms of the expansion of the regional, we are now in three cities
11:59 The remaining two cities
12:01 The only one that could not be achieved, which is the Deraj market
12:07 and it had its reasons and circumstances
12:10 but in the end, it is subject to the laws and regulations in the countries
12:18 But I am sure that today we are thinking about what is left of the Goal 25
12:26 We hope that next year we will have a bigger vision
12:31 After the acquisition of Al Ashraf
12:36 Today we will have bigger visions on the Gulf level, not on the Kuwait level
12:41 Last question, in terms of industry
12:43 Do you feel pressure due to global warming
12:47 due to the problems that the markets have been facing lately?
12:52 Yes, we have talked about the problems
12:57 Even in the last quarter of last year, our will was clearly damaged
13:04 We will say that it was a small impact
13:07 Today, the geopolitical atmosphere has had an impact
13:11 The inflation has had an impact
13:13 The interest rate has had an impact
13:17 We always strive to be successful in all these things
13:22 so that there is no direct impact on the plans
13:27 This is one of our goals today
13:31 to be in different countries and to diversify in activities
13:35 to enter different sectors and activities
13:38 All of this will make this diversification an addition to you
13:42 and will make the sustainability that we are talking about
13:46 and will make the damage to the diversity that we have
13:51 After the break, a tour of the Mirzam exhibition and the coffee festival

14:59 Welcome to the next idea for those interested in the world of decor
15:05 With the participation of more than 300 local and international companies
15:09 The Mirzam exhibition has observed the huge development in the industry of decor and home architecture
15:16 Kuwaiti Investment Bank
15:18 In the fourth edition of his life, the Mirzam exhibition reflects the great growth in the industry of interior architecture and furniture
15:36 and what it includes of accessories and equipment
15:40 Under this umbrella, hundreds of local and international brands are scattered
15:45 in an industry whose value jumps between one year and the next
15:49 paid by the entry of new players and the growth of demand
15:52 until the value of this industry reached 5 billion dollars
15:57 It has become bigger, more complete
15:59 300 wings cover 30 pieces with interior design, furniture and furnishings
16:06 Kuwait is witnessing a huge workshop with the establishment of many residential cities
16:11 that provide homes for citizens
16:14 Most houses are delivered without the final flooring
16:17 This is what has encouraged the demand for the services of flooring and flooring
16:21 and interior decor
16:23 In addition to everything the house needs from establishment and furnishing
16:27 New ideas, different ideas than we are used to
16:33 The good thing about Mirzam is that it combines all these specialties in one place
16:37 It makes it easier for the owner of the house, the buyer
16:40 It makes it easier for the person who intends to build his house to get an idea of what is available in the area
16:46 and he can choose and he knows what are the different options
16:50 We usually start after the black stage
16:53 The black is the client himself
16:56 We start after the black stage
16:58 We study the location, the client's needs, the number of rooms he has
17:03 From the black to the final flooring
17:06 We are participating in door products, kitchens, wardrobe, storage rooms
17:13 We are a full booth for electronic devices and home coffee preparation equipment
17:20 If the demand has encouraged the international trade marks to enter and compete in the market
17:26 Local industry was not out of competition
17:29 So factories were developed, companies were established, and experience was acquired
17:34 Small and medium-sized projects succeeded in providing competitive products of high quality
17:40 There is a very large percentage of factories in Kuwait
17:45 I was surprised by the quality
17:50 They said it looks like it came from Italy
17:52 The quality and the impression that it came from Kuwait
17:56 There are Kuwait factories, with the supervision of a team and Kuwaiti companies
18:00 I think today we are competing with any international industry
18:04 We are working in the transformation industry
18:07 The raw materials are prepared by 50%
18:10 We continue the 50% here in Kuwait, which is suitable for the Kuwaiti taste
18:15 For example, in European countries, the spaces are limited for the nature of the population
18:20 Or the heights even in the houses
18:22 Here, the temperature is very high
18:25 We employ European materials through the transformation industry in Kuwait
18:30 For the installation process
18:32 Digital technology, smart building, Internet of Things, and guidance
18:37 Into the heart of the interior building industry
18:40 And it became products and accessories that cover a wide area of the modern house
18:46 Now the situation is different from the past
18:50 Smart solutions are important in everyone's life
18:53 We have smoke detectors, security systems, camera systems
18:57 All these things have become necessary and people need them more than ever
19:02 We provide many different solutions
19:06 And we can determine the needs of the client and the house he lives in
19:11 The presence of the ministry in this exhibition is to raise awareness among clients
19:16 About the importance of facilitating the consumption of electricity and water
19:19 In order to facilitate the state and the client in general
19:24 The effects of global smog have spread to the construction industry
19:29 And its suppliers
19:30 Besides the demand on the part of consumers
19:33 And financial engineering on the part of companies
19:35 And the housing support provided by the state
19:38 Enabled the absorption of subsidies and the preservation of growth
19:43 The increase in interest rates today has greatly affected us
19:47 And it affected global markets and today we are feeling it
19:50 For the products we are presenting today in Mirzam
19:54 We are presenting very high interest rates
19:57 Up to 25%
19:59 In order to reduce the impact of the increase in interest rates on the community
20:07 And the Kuwaiti market may take a different path from the Gulf market
20:11 Because we have housing
20:13 And housing provides some support to the citizens
20:16 And thank God, this makes the Kuwaiti state as usual
20:20 A little out of this subject
20:22 Many titles are carried by the annual platform for the manufacture of interior architecture
20:27 And its requirements
20:28 It is the strong market, it is the smart green buildings
20:31 It is the medium and small projects
20:34 And it is the wide field of creativity and innovation
20:37 Over the past two days, Kuwait hosted the coffee festival
20:45 Which is held by Bank Boubian
20:47 The festival witnessed the presence of dozens of exhibitors and inventors
20:52 Who offer a variety of special coffee
20:56 Osama Rashid's colleague visited the exhibition like every year
20:59 And of course he is a lover of all kinds of drinks
21:04 [Music]
21:14 In the sixth year of the coffee festival
21:18 The event became a seasonal event
21:20 It has a large audience
21:23 And remarkable commercial shares
21:25 The event organized by Bank Boubian
21:28 It has become a model
21:29 It includes coffee lovers and drinkers
21:32 Importers and distributors
21:34 Enthusiasts and consumers
21:36 The message is clear
21:39 As I said, small projects, nice events
21:43 Social, our social duty in the country
21:49 And also the help of our brothers
21:51 The coffee festival is no longer limited to coffee preparation projects
21:55 And specialized in it
21:57 The initiative has expanded
21:59 To follow the coffee journey from its inception
22:02 There are projects and investors in different stages
22:06 It starts with its study and bringing it from its farmers
22:09 And undergoes various roasting processes
22:12 Before it turns into a cup of hot or cold coffee
22:15 At the hands of passionate investors
22:17 The roasting of the coffee goes through stages
22:19 The first stage is the selection of the samples
22:21 We ask from all over the world
22:24 The world that exports coffee from Brazil, Costa Rica
22:27 The samples from their farms
22:29 We take the sample and try to roast it
22:32 And try to make a cup of coffee
22:34 We have experts who evaluate the quality of coffee
22:37 After the quality of this coffee is chosen
22:39 We take it to another stage
22:41 We make the order
22:42 The green coffee comes
22:43 We do experiments and sell it to customers
22:46 I can show you some samples of our production
22:50 The roasted coffee we have is a farm to cup system
22:53 Meaning that you have the beans imported from the source
22:57 From Colombia, Brazil or Ethiopia
23:00 And the input is from Kuwait
23:03 And roasted according to the profile of the client and the distiller
23:07 And because the industry is developing and growing
23:10 It offers new types every year
23:13 With different flavors
23:15 And innovative methods of preparation
23:17 In the production of the world's drink
23:19 Super coffee is a specialized coffee
23:21 And it is a fast processing
23:23 The idea is how to make coffee without equipment
23:25 No machine or anything
23:27 It is very easy, it is just water
23:29 There are six types of special coffee
23:31 Each has its own notes and specific roasting
23:34 Let's take number five
23:36 I can easily open it like this
23:39 I have this machine
23:41 I have these powders
23:43 I can use the water itself
23:45 I can use this water to drink coffee
23:48 I put the powder in this way
23:50 I put water or milk in it
23:52 And I have a special coffee
23:54 Even the complements that the coffee cup has in its last trip
23:57 Like sweets and drinks
23:59 Found a place for itself in the annual coffee festival
24:03 People always say that croissant with breakfast
24:06 But now it's a little different
24:08 People love us and eat us all the time
24:10 But you see a crowd mostly in the morning
24:13 With tea and coffee
24:15 It's really delicious
24:17 In the croissant, we have sweets, cakes and other things
24:20 We still have no idea about it
24:22 The coffee festival sends many messages
24:24 It celebrates the small youth projects and supports them
24:28 It welcomes innovations
24:30 It allocates its resources for a human goal
24:33 And shed light on a social issue
24:36 And with this, we have reached the end of this episode
24:43 From the program "Eyes on Kuwait"
24:45 See you next week in a new episode
