Will we see the end of corruption, financial embezzlement of public funds, maladministration, and poverty? That's a dream as long as the new government will be restricted in powers as it has always been. Still the sheikhs and tribal military influences are the “untouchables” safe-guarded by big men in the country. There is no much to be expected from the new government. The president's choice of the same Prime minister indicates no change to the better.
We would have been happier if the president chose a pragmatic statesman like Mr Faraj Bin Ghanim. At least that could have been for a change and for people of this country to see some light in the end of the tunnel. Why prolong the achievements of national building by keeping failures aboard? Why restrict the process of national building to certain individuals only? What about the others, don't they have a role?
