‘Bahraini interest’ missing

By Karim Mansouri

The article published on 31 January, 2022, Page 3, calls for the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry to highlight their achievements during the past few years.

Yaqoob Al Awadhi mentions a list of 14 points that his platform wants to achieve in his campaign and I see no mention of nationalism, that is, taking care of Bahrain’s interest above all others. Buy Bahraini, Make Bahraini. Are Bahraini enterprises selected first?

There is no mention of moving all government offices to one location, which will save millions of Bahraini dinars every month! This will help businesses because, with the current situation, business people have to run all over Bahrain to get things done when the government is involved.

There is no mention of our National Debt, BD15 billion ($40 billion), all these taxes will not pay the interest on this debt. Well, these are some of the root issues that need to be looked into as I see only more problems ahead.
