Kuwait : An environmental group Sunday urged candidates in the 2008 parliamentary elections to incorporate issues of the environment into their agendas.
Group chairman Khaled Al-Hajri in a statement today expressed both surprise and disappointment that most candidates failed to mention such concerns in their agendas and urged voters to demand such attention from their candidates and that environment issues be given priority.
Al-Hajri also accused the majority of MPs in the previous assemblies of failure to uphold their duty in this regard and stressed they had failed most miserably on the environment protection law.
Should this law be approved and implemented, he said, it would be possible to sit down and consider possible solutions for the many environmental concerns of the state.
