"Today''''s meeting of the committee debated the observations raised by the MPs on the proposed strategy and agreed to work with the executive authority for addressing the possible shortcomings," he said. "While developing the draft, the newly-formed team will take stock of the views of the CSC, the private sector investors, the Supreme Council for Planning and Development (SCPD), Kuwait Economic Society (KES), and the Manpower and Government Restructuring Program (MGRP)," Al-Sane''''pointed out.
