His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah instructed granting every Kuwaiti citizen KD 1,000 (USD 3,599) as well as offering food rations for free for 13 months as of next month, a cabinet statement said Sunday.
The cabinet, chaired by His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Mohammad Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, said it took note of the Amiri grant which would coincide with Sheikh Sabah's 5th anniversary.
The cabinet assigned the ministry of finance to take necessary steps to disperse the grant, which reflected the Amir's keenness to helping citizens overcome their living conditions, Minister of state for Cabinet Affairs Roudhan Al-Roudhan said in a statement after the government meeting.
The Amir, he noted, also instructed food rations to be offered for free between February 1, 2011 and March 31, 2013.
The grants, he noted, marked the occasion of the 50th independence anniversary, 20th liberation anniversary and 5th anniversary of Sheikh Sabah's assumption of office, due next month.

3600$? A bike, a 40" LED, a PS3, a 360, BOSE Home Theatre, All the games i could imagine, gifts for girlfriend, and rest money for petrol.

oil nations. filthy rich X.X
 
They are sitting on the Worlds second largest oil fields... they ought to shower that wealth among their minuscule population..
 
Bose theatre? Aman you serious? :P

^Second that. The oils wouldn't deplete any sooner. When it does, I'd love to see what the Arabs are planning to do next.
 
I shall now quote Jeremius Clarksonius, "Its time to break out your camel and its back to carpets for you."

Its nice to see a nation giving something back to its citizens - Wish it was this way here in our nation. at least they could bring down the petrol prices. here our government takes everything from us.
 
This is a curious development, why would Kuwaiti's need handouts from the govt because of food costs.

They don't pay any income taxes there anyway.
 
I'm going to Kuwait to acquire a temporary citizenship there. :ashamed: Will be back with the money. :bleh:

On a serious note, they say if the names of Indians having black money in Swiss accounts are revealed and cracked down, all debts etc. of the country will vanish overnight. :hap2:
 
The Tunisian revolution is scaring the shit out of dictators/monarchies everywhere and especially so in the arab world.

No such thing as naturalised kuwaiti citizens, neither can you own land there.

The only thing temporary they grant is a work visa. Which would not qualify you to these grants anyway since there were only for citizens.

They say a lot of things, as with everything, easier said than done.

My primary concern just like gannu is why would he want a BOSE...may be its easy money and he really wants to waste it
 
dunno... i'd rather have our corrupt politicians who have to put in some effort to become rich than some guy who is so insanely rich that he can afford to give lavish gifts to an entire nation.
 
Kuwait only has 1 million citizens. 3600 * 1 million = 3600 million = 3.6 billion US$
