WE ARE NOW PRIDE OF MEN AND WOMENS PARTICIPATION IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRACTICES IN LIGHT OF THE ACTIVATED CONSTITUTIONAL INSTITUTIONS PROMPTED BY HM THE KING, MUTAWA SAID.
REGARDING BAHRAINS EXCELLENCE IN HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT, HE EXPRESSED STRONG BELIEF THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PRACTICE AND THE ACTIVATION OF INSTITUTIONS WOULD GUARANTEE SUCCESS NOT ONLY IN HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT BUT IN ALL FIELDS AS FAR AS DOMESTIC ISSUES ARE BEING DELIBERATED ON A DEMOCRATIC BASIS.
ANSWERING A QUESTION ON THE ROLE OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT, MUTAWA SAID THAT HM THE KING VOWED AS HE INAUGURATED THE COURTS NEW PREMISES, FULL COMMITMENT TO DEMOCRACY AND JUSTICE AND ON THOSE GROUNDS, THE COURT WAS GUIDED BY HMS ROYAL DIRECTIVES IN ALL ITS WORK.
HE POINTED OUT THAT UPON A CITIZENS COMPLAINT, THE COURT CANCELED A LAW WHICH HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY EMPOWERING THE GOVERNMENT TO TAKE POSSESSION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY FOR PUBLIC INTEREST FOR ITS UNCONSTITUTIONALITY.
ON THE OTHER HAND, MUTAWA PRAISED THE WISE POLICY OF PRESIDENT MOHAMMED HOSNI MUBARAK SAYING THAT EGYPT WAS WITNESSING A GREAT DEVELOPMENT ON THE ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL LEVELS THAT PROMISES OF A BRILLIANT FUTURE.
