The Proteas have come up against a powerful England team , whilst the Protea Womens team have been giving New Zealand a cricketing lesson down under and our U19s are through to the quarter finals with local boy, Tyrece Karelse in the team. Our SWD Womens leagues have been finalized whilst the promotion and reserve leagues are drawing to the final stages for an early finish to the season. With all the goings on behind the scenes at the end of 2019, there is a fair amount of uncertainty in the game at the moment, but I am sure that the game will continue on fields all over the country in the right spirit and our decision makers at the top will ensure that the decisions that are made, will be in the best interests of the Inside this issue game!

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.
