MP Yousef Al-Fadhalah said on his Twitter account that he will file to grill the prime minister on March 5 if the government allows Health Minister Jamal Al-Harbi to quit, while leaving “suspected corrupt senior bureaucrats” in their positions. The lawmaker said that he had learned that Harbi offered his resignation on Monday during the Cabinet meeting after his demand to sack the undersecretary and a number of senior officials was not accepted by the Cabinet. The controversy over the health minister has been growing even before the November election, after reports that the cost of sending Kuwaitis for treatment abroad skyrocketed to new highs. Some MPs put it at as high as KD 750 million last year. Opposition MPs have alleged that a majority of those sent for treatment abroad were in fact not patients but sent on what they described as “medical tourism or politi- cal medication”, under which thousands of fake patients were sent abroad to appease certain MPs.

India won a total of 312 medals including 174 Gold, 93 Silver and 45 Bronze medals, which also marks our best ever performance at these Games. We successfully wrapped up this year with our Annual General Meeting on 30 December in New Delhi where it was wonderful to meet you all. We reviewed governance and preparations for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 in the meeting. The members were apprised of the progress in hosting the 2023 IOC Session in India. Pursuant to the visit of the President of the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) and deliberations during the AGM, it was also confirmed that India would be participating in the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games and bidding for the Commonwealth Games 2026/ 2030. IOA reviewed the planning to host the IOC Session in 2023. Earlier, the IOA has already expressed interest for hosting the Summer Youth Olympic Games in 2026, Asian Games in 2030 and Summer Olympic Games in 2032. I once again congratulate all our esteemed colleagues on their appointments in international sports organisations this year and hope our presence will continue to expand in the times to come. I look forward to your continued support in 2020 and beyond to make the Indian Olympic Association a formidable force to reckon with and to realise our collective vision and plans for the advancement of Olympic movement in India.
