D’où l’embarras de la Céni qui se trouve bloquée par cette contrainte juridique majeure liée à l’absence de données sur les sièges à pourvoir dans les circonscriptions électorales. Sur- tout que rien ne garantit que ce projet de loi sera examiné et adopté dans les meilleurs délais à l’Assemblée nationale. Le calendrier électoral de la Céni vient donc de prendre un sacré coup, car tout retard occasionné par rapport à son chronogramme impacte sur l’ensemble du processus avec des forts risques que le 25 octobre 2015, elle ne soit en mesure d’organiser les élections urbaines, municipales et locales et celles subséquentes.

The project, to be built at the Al-Zour refinery near the border with Saudi Arabia, was awarded to Hyundai Engineering Co, Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co and Korea Gas Corporation. CEO of national refiner Kuwait National Petroleum Co Mohammad Al-Mutairi, who signed the contract, said the project is slated to be completed in the first quarter of 2021. OPEC member Kuwait is rich with crude oil but its natural gas production is too small to meet its needs. Every year it imports large LNG quantities to supply power plants, especially during the summer, and for use in the petrochemicals industry. The facility will be part of a huge complex being built in Al-Zour, south of Kuwait City, which will also houses a state-of-the-art 615,000 barrel-per-day refin- ery and a petrochemicals plant. Mutairi said the cost of the complex is expected to reach $30 billion.
