His Highness the Amir urged the judicial authority to act impartially, uphold the rule of law, and ensure the rights and freedoms of everybody, away from any personal considerations.
He outlined three main requests for the judiciary to work on as early as possible; First, to speed up the Kuwaitization of the judicial and the subordinate jobs, Second, to put fear of Allah, the Almighty, above all considerations while making verdicts, And third, to shorten the period of a prosecution and settling the disputes.
His Highness the Amir took pride in the growing participation of women in the judiciary, saying it is a historic stride in the way to woman empowerment which reflects Kuwait's commitment to ensuring gender equality.
He voiced hope for adopting legislations that could modern the judicial work, facilitate litigation and prosecution, and speed up the digitization of the judicial authority and the Public Prosecution.
He lauded the roles of the judicial and the executive authorities as "two wings of the leadership" helping realize the aspirations of the people and protecting their interests in the framework of the constitution.
Concluding, His Highness the Amir expressed best wishes for the judiciary people and all sons of Kuwait.
